I want to dance with you
I want to take you to the ocean
to splash in the waves
and collapse with you on the hot sand
I want to watch cartoons with you
make pasta
and look at furniture in Ikea with you
I want to buy couple's Halloween costumes
You'll be Shaggy
I'll be Velma
I want to lay in your arms and read a book
I want to wake up early in the mornings
while you're asleep
and lay still in your arms
trying not to wake you
I want to memorize the contours on your face
the marks on your body
I want you to comfort me at 2 am
when a character in my book dies
I want to quote Casablanca with you
and think about you when you aren't here
but above all
I want you in all your perfect imperfections
because we quote Casablanca wrong
we never got the Halloween costumes
and we overcook the pasta
because of this, I want you forever
