Now that I give it some thought. There are only 2 things in the world that I really want.
The world is beautiful. Even though it is filled with tears, pain, and sadness. You can do anything you want to do. Become whomever you want to be. Go as fast as your feet will carry you, go as far as the sea will take you, fly as high as the winds will blow you, or soar the infinitely fast space that we have yet to master. The only limits are the ones we set on ourselves. The first thing that I really want. Is to do anything I could possible do, taste every flavor that ever existed, see every wonder that this place has to offer. To experience this world in its entirety and never slow down. That is only the first thing that I want. The second. The second is something far more beautiful. Far more interesting. And something that I could never tire of. Something that will never fail to cheer me up. And this second thing can be summed up in a single word. A single yet very simple word. One of the most elegant words to ever exist. This word cannot be replaced by anything that has ever existed. Nothing is more valuable to me than this very word. This word you ask? Oh you know what this word is. Deep down in your heart. You already know what I am talking about. All you have to do is close your eyes. Reach into that heart that you call your own. And see what I am talking about. What I want, more than the world itself and everything on it. Well, almost everything. Because that word also exists on this world. I guess that now I should confirm what you already know. The word. This very simple and elegant word. Is You. Yes, that is right. You. The person reading this right now. You. And maybe after I have experienced the world. As well as having you in my arms. Maybe then. I'll only want one more thing. That thing. Can only be forever, at the side of the only thing I want more than the world. You.
