I Want That One

Because I look at you every day

And still think the same thought over and over again

The same thought that crossed my mind

The very first time I ever laid eyes on you

I want that one

Because I never run out of things to tell you

Because I want you to know everything

I want you to be intricately, intimately, inseparably

Entwined in every important moment that I experience

Because you inspire me to dream

Of becoming an old woman, wrinkled, gray, stooped

Who wakes up every morning to find you beside me

For almost forever, or as long as we can both manage to keep breathing

Because no matter what kind of argument we’ve had

I’m just waiting for it to end

So I can wrap myself up in your arms again

Where I belong

Because I’m always waiting for you

Hoping to catch as many glimpses of you as I can

Hoping to catch your eye as many times as I can

Hoping to steal as many kisses from you as I can

Hoping I can do whatever it takes to capture your heart

Over and over again, as often as I can

Because you know who I am

And I know who you are

And I still want you

And you still want me

And that makes everything worthwhile
