WHEN I MARRY SOMEONE

When I marry someone,
I want to be able to tell our kids
about how her eyes used to sparkle
and how she used to love wandering
through the greenery of the forest
-- and how she still does.

And how she's the kind of person
who likes to leave a big tip for the waiter
when the waiter's a nice person
and how when she kisses me
there are stars that fly
from the center of my eyes to the outsides,
and how nostalgia's just a word
to describe how her voice makes me feel.

I love her.
