i like to think the things i want
from you are simple-
a kiss on the cheek,
a song on your guitar,
a day in the woods, swimming in the lake.
your body in my bed, welcoming me with open arms. your hair scattered across the pillow. making coffee and breakfast for you early in the morning. accidently switching clothes. dancing in the kitchen late at night. reading in the library together. gardening, and going for long walks in the wintertime.  holding your shoulders with my head on your chest by the fireplace. going to parties, and taking you out for dinner. shopping for furniture together.
      maybe we could rent a boat and try to sleep on it for week. we could watch into the wild for the millionth time, get inspired once again, and go hiking in the wilderness. we could go on road trips.
      brushing our teeth together before bed. getting icecream. going outside in the rain. pillow fights and cuddling on the couch. spending our money on books, soup, and veggie burgers. cutting your hair when it grows too long for your liking. pretending that i really didn't like it long either as i hold the scissors.
      drawing with crayons on cookbooks. picking up plastic water bottles when we see them. buying you rings from the dollar bin at the nearest thrift store. and sweaters i'll know you like. maybe some new china sets too- even though i know you'll scold me because we really have enough plates and spoons any teacups.

      you can draw the sunburn on my back and the curls of my hair, if i can stare at you whenever i please.
