What I Really Want:

is to have dinner on the deck every night with friends

to drink wine and eat delicious food until the sun goes down and the stars come out

to go on long walks in the summer evenings, talking about nothing in particular or not talking at all

to eat ice cream

to laugh until you cry and your stomach hurts

to dance in the living room, in the kitchen, in the yard, to just dance

to sit in the quiet and listen to our favorite records on vinyl until we all fall asleep for a few hours

to wake up and drink coffee in the cool of the morning as we watch the sunrise

to drift back to sleep for a few hours

to say goodbye as we go about our days knowing the separation won't be long

and repeat

to do that with the ones I love would be the most perfect thing I could think of
