This is a list of things I want
I want you.
I want to sit with you, in an apartment that's ours.
I want to buy furniture with you.
I want to eat Indian food with you,
and watch stupid sitcoms that are on tv with you.
I want to adopt a cat with you.
I want to read books while holding hands with you.
I want to cuddle with you for hours when it's raining outside.
Hell, I want to get caught in that rain with you.
I want to dance to my Frank Sinatra record collection.
I want it to be our collection.
I want to drive, really really far with you.
Like, really far.
I want to spend that much time in a confined space with you.
I want to run to Waffle House with you at three in the morning when we're high.
So, I want to get high with you.
I want to come home, to our home, and just be with you.
I want to sit down and file tax returns with you.
But, more than anything,
I want you to be happy.
So, if that means
you want nothing to do with me, then
I want you to forget me.
If you don't want to see me again,
I want to disappear.
If you want to run away from me, like I'm a problem,
I want to run in the opposite direction.
But, if one day,
you want me in return,
I'll be there.
You're all I've ever wanted,
and all I ever will want.
