Happily Ever After Revisited

I want to wake up in love every morning.

I want third date, beginning to fall in love love.
Needing to know his favorite color of M&M love.
Side stepping telephone poles
(rather than drop hands) love.
Sleep with your makeup on love.

I want to always be fascinated by the moment our eyes meet.

I want to be surprised by something he says or does
on our fiftieth wedding anniversary.
I need him to make me laugh in a new way every night.

I want passionate kisses.
Protective kisses on the forehead.
"I'll miss you while I'm at work...
but I will see you tonight" for dinner kisses
"Let's do it right here on the living room rug" kisses
Wake me up from a nightmare kisses.
Kiss away tears kisses.
Kisses on the palm of my hand.

I want to sit down and write spontaneous epistles of love
on a daily basis.
I want to doodle his name on napkins
cause I can think of nothing else.

I want to believe all this is possible before I turn thirty.

I want to believe when I find it...
He will have been looking for me all along.

And it will last.

The end.
