I want to
rest my head on your lap again
and fall asleep and dream.
I want to
walk in the moonlight like time has stopped.
That's how we'll make it seem.

I want to
play in the pouring rain again
and splash in dreams with you.
I want to
lie awake in your bed at night
and laugh about things we do.

I want to
wander at midnight through town with you,
end up at the grocery store.
I want to 
buy you a cookie and a cherry coke,
holding hands as we leave through the door.

I want to
kiss your perfect pretty lips
and entertain the rings.
I want to
hear the songs you write so well
and listen as you sing.

I want to
trace the lines around your tattoos
and memorize your skin.
I want to 
be with you, today, right now
and hold you close again.

I want to
cause your heart to skip a beat
when I say, "I love you."
I want to 
let you know that mine skips three
when you say, "I love you too."
