"The
curious are always in some danger.
If
you are curious you might never come home."

How It Will Be
| 130802
i
want to rush home to you. you'd be lying in bed reading a book and you'd
look up and i'd come near you and give you a kiss. i want to take off my
shoes while i tell you about my day, and give you a foot massage when you've
had a terrible time at work. i want to be in the kitchen with you and not
mind your culinary skills interfering with mine. i want to clean and sneeze
with you, saw and hammer with you, and hand you the right tools when you're
fixing the car. i want to go shopping with you, and hear you tell me to
get myself something i've always wanted, and to stop being stingy. i want
to carry your bags for you, and have you grab them from me because your
hands are empty and mine are too busy to hold them. i want to drive home
with you and have my hand on your thigh, or hold your hand when i get inside
the train with you. i want to sit with you and talk for hours and forget
about the time, i want to share my hot chocolate with you and wipe it from
your lips when you're done. i want to solve puzzles with you and see you
get frustrated and say you don't have time for it. i'd throw the magazine
away and make love to you instead. i want to sleep naked with you and watch
you dream. i want to wake up in the middle of the night and find you there
beside me.
