I wish ...

    For lazy days in cluttered bookstores
    For meandering walks in shaded parks
    For swirling dances in the soaking rain

    For intimate cuddles in the dark night
    For whispered sighs of deep contentment
    For echoed cries of passion unrestrained

    For bubbling children never far away
    For idle excursions to the shopping mall
    For travel adventures in distant lands

    For magical hours of poetry reading
    For quenching delight in fresh writing
    For lingering encounters with enigmatic art

    For gentle floating on music's breeze
    For reflected drama on theatre stages
    For great movies with popcorn and coke

    For butterfly kisses in unexpected places
    For warm hugs for no reason whatsoever
    For holding hands in silent understanding

    For roaming talks without destinations
    For playful experiments with illusions
    For soul journeys to unseen worlds

    For growing old through the seasons
    For slowing down as the years go by
    For being happily in love for ever after

    ... with you
