5:37 amin a year when you're walking down the street,
I want someone from your past to call, maybe an old friend or something.
I hope that when they ask about me, instead of saying,
"oh wow, I haven't talked to her in so long."
you say..
"yeah, she's fine. I just picked up some Chinese and I'm headed home to see her now. I'm spending the weekend with her."
________________________________________________________________
in 3 years when you're at the library,
i hope my grandma calls you
and instead of saying,
"is she okay? I'm so sorry. I miss her."
you're saying something like,
"Debbie, I don't know how all this engagement ring stuff works. do you think you could help me?"
________________________________________________________________
in 5 years when you're grocery store,
i hope your mom calls you
and when she asks about me, instead of saying,
"yeah.. i miss her, mom."
you say..
"well, she's finally starting to show. we have an appointment with the doctors next week to find out the gender but I'm already 85% sure its a boy."
________________________________________________________________
in 7 years when I'm at the park
instead of doing whatever waste of time I'd be doing without you..
I hope I'm taking pictures of you and the kids.
I hope I'm thinking how lucky I am.
I hope I'm looking at you with even more admiration that I do now.
I hope Addison and Charlie look at us and wish to find the same kind of love someday.
