What I Want

Let me tell you what I want. I want
Wrinkles stretched across my face
From spending too much time
So much time
Laughing in the sun

Let me tell you what I want. I want

Water rings on my coffee table

Because a friend stopped by

Just to say Hi...

And forgot to use a coaster

Let me tell you what I want. I want

Chips and cracks in my windshield

From the hours we spent 

Traveling together

Exploring the world - together.

Let me tell you what I want. I want

A belly that's just a little too big

Because I had - babies

Three

Beautiful babies

Let me tell you what I want. I want
A messy house, a messy house
From too many days spent in bed
With our toes
Curled around each other

Let me tell you what I want. I want

People to call me crazy

Because I refuse to conform

To these rules

The silly rules of the world
