We all have checklists some longer than others (Part II)

 

I want someone who wants to get a dog with me

I want someone to hold hands with and walk aimlessly in a city

I want someone to read books with in bed

I want someone who is simple

I want someone my brother approves of

I want someone who takes initiative

I want someone who winks at me while he's standing in line to get my coffee

I want someone to protect my mind by always supporting it

I want someone who'll violate me in the kitchen while I make him pancakes

I want someone who'll help rebuild me when the worlds been busy tearing me down

I want someone who believes in something, anything, ME

I want someone who doesn't plan outtings around others

I want someone who doesn't lose sight of the big picture

I want someone who is above all the sentimental bullshit except for our sentimental bullshit

I want someone who'll go fishing with my dad and listen to his boring stories

I want someone who won't exploit my insecurities

I want someone who can laugh at himself

I want someone who's committed to me not attached

I want someone who is patient

I want someone who doesn't preach

I want someone who bites

I want someone to travel with to experience what a tiny place we occupy in the world

I want someone who knows desiring me isn't the same as valuing me

I want someone who hasn't been spoon fed

I want someone who vibrates on the same wavelength as I do

I want someone who is authentically a family man

I want someone with deep, childhood friendships

I want someone who chokes my bad days and plants my good ones

I want someone who hates the same things as I do

I want someone who doesn't have an eye cast over my shoulder

I want someone who doesn't risk us because of a hiccup in the relationship

I want someone I can run my fingertips on

I want someone who doesn't crave the world's attention, just mine

I want someone who wants to hang out with me for the rest of his life

I want the Harry to my Sally, the Cylde to my Bonnie, the Rocky to my Adrian, the Wall-E to my Eve, the Johnny to my Baby, the Jay to my B, the Noah to my Allie, the Ross to my Rachel, the Big to my Carrie.

A toast ...

to close
to far
to leaping
to believing
to the tribe
to the team
to fears demolished
to the highs
to knowing the lows
to doubts
to discoveries
to unexpected smiles
to creating history
to lifelongs
to adventure
to travels
to lost moments
to new births
to unseen cities
to long days
to memorable nights
to unspoken words
to compliments
to new ends
to old beginnings
to opinions
to no judgment
to hidden treasures
to bigger dreams
to growing up
to fun mistakes
to new friends
to ice cream
to brick walls
to bubbles in a tub
to cold pizza
to hoodies
to string lights all year long
to palm trees
to forgetting
to forgiveness
to the familiar
to the unknown
to the simple pleasures
to another year to do nothing, anything or both!
