Normal is Boring

I want to know you forever.

I want to see you grab your diploma and turn to me in the audience and mouth "I did it".

I want to call you the day of my first class in a new state, a new city, a new era and tell you I'm scared. I want you to tell me everything is going to be okay just like you always do.

I want to run towards you in a dramatic slow motion way when I land at the Minneapolis airport after my first semester of college. I want to tackle you and cry and laugh because I made it back in one piece.

I want to FaceTime you and see your dorm room and meet your roommates. I want to be there in our new era. I want us to know in our hearts we are both okay even though we are hundreds of miles away.

I want to have
Late
Late
Late
Night conversations talking about new classes, new lovers, and new things we are afraid of.

I want to send handwritten letters and postcards and pictures.I want to send you books and gluten free treats.

I want to see you in the audience at my college graduation and run to you and scream "I fucking did it".

I want to hug you goodbye a thousand times knowing that I will see you again.

I want to FaceTime you  post college and meet your new plant. I want to name said plant after some character from Golden Girls.

I want my acceptance speech to have a little section for you. It will say "thank you for taking a chance on me. Thank you for trusting me with your words. Thank you for you".

I want to know you when I'm sad.

I want to know you when I'm happy.

I want to know you when I'm a still day.

I want to know you when I'm a hurricane.

I want to know you forever.
