Just One More Thing

Huh?
Yeah.

Uh-huh.
Great.

You too.
Uh-huh.

Oh,… jeez, I almost forgot!

Hey, before I let you go,…
there’s just one more thing that I wanted to tell you:

I want to write a million love poems for you.
I want to bring you sunshine.
I want every dream that you ever had to come true,
and exceed your wildest expectations.
I want to stroke your face,
and tell you that I love you.
I want us to stand at the top of the tallest building.
I want us to conquer the world.
I want to paint a masterpiece portrait of you.
I want to fly to Paris for a morning omelet with you, and then to London for fish and chips lunch, and then to New York for a candlelit dinner in Little Italy.
I want to dedicate every love song ever written to you.
I want to reach up into the night sky and give you a bouquet of stars.
I want to memorize every love poem ever written and recite you each one.
I want to stand on the biggest stage in the world and sing you the loveliest aria.
I want to give you the loudest shout out in history.
I want to change the name of the country to your name, and pledge allegiance to the United States of You.
I want to turn you into air and put you in a pressurized oxygen tank and connect it to a scuba mask and breathe you.
I want to go to Buddy Hackett’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and have his name torn out and yours typeset in 12 Karat gold.
I want a picture of your face tattooed over my face, and then I want to look in the mirror all day.
I want to snowboard off a mountain while drinking a can of Mountain Dew: Code You.
I want to change my name to Romeo, and I want you to change your name to Juliet, and I want our romance to be more passionate than theirs, but without the dying young part.
I want to go into a hotel and say, "I’m looking for my wife." And then see you, and then say "That’s okay, I’ve found her."
I want to give you a thousand roses.
I want to be there when you get good news.
I want to hear your laugh.
I want to grow old with you.
If you die, I want to know, so that I can go and visit your grave every day.
I want you to know that I will love you even after I die.

That’s all I wanted you to know.

Later.
