home is wherever i'm with you

i’d like to pull you aside at a party and whisper things in your ear. make you tea lemonade and blueberry muffins on a summer morning. keep the petals of the tulips you sent me. find a way to hold you forever. kiss each fingertip until you lose prints. record songs and give them to you on a cd. quiz you on harry potter. make lists with you. i’d like to have a food fight with you like they do in the movie It takes two. I don’t want walks on the beach, I want to run on the beach and into the water and almost step on a jellyfish with you. I don’t want to gaze at the clouds or stars with you, I want to try and look up through the rain into the dark, tremendous sky; count the seconds after we see lightning to hear thunder. I don’t desire roses or chocolates. And I don’t feel like I’m falling, because I’m the most stable when I’m with you. All of these things underestimate the dream of me and you. The word love is so stale, like a poem poorly written or an overplayed tape. So be my life, not my love.
