(I missed the bit about going camping. And the cliche about watching the stars. But a girl had better not ask for too much.)
I want to sit outside in the evening,
smell the garden at dusk
and watch the sky change colour.
I want to drive long, dark roads,
fish and chips passed to the driver
and kids snuggled in the back.
I want to catch a movie and dinner,
go to the ballet, check out some gig
and walk the night time streets
in my good clothes.
I want to fall in to bed
with perfume staining my pillow
and feel the feeling
of skin between sheets.
And I want to soak long in the sea,
and feel it heal me.
I want to sit on the sofa,
and watch some great TV.
I want to see the fiords, and Fiji,
and anywhere that's new for me.
I'd like to ride through streets again,
know that I can be strong,
and remember what it feels like to fly.
I'd like to make a grown ups' meal,
just once in a while
and leave the dishes until morning.
I'd like to have late night conversation,
fill the silence with talking
and laugh out loud in bed.
I'd like to play this game again,
instead of watching,
and after so much losing, win.
I want to soak long in the sea,
and feel it heal me.
I want to sit on the sofa,
and watch some great TV.
I want to see the fiords, and Fiji,
and anywhere that's new for me.
