I wanna get the guts to ask you to hang out sometime and watch your face bright up as you say yes.
I wanna go on a first date with you and share awkward laughs and awkward silences.
I want us to smile all the way through that first date and after it.
I wanna take you to the aquarium and watch the penguins.
I wanna have a picnic in the park with you and protect you from the bees.
I wanna say how pretty you are when you’re sitting on the couch in your sweatpants eating ice cream.
I wanna laugh with you and be goofy with you in public places so that people stare at us.
I wanna hold you in my arms as we watch the stars and think how small we are.
I wanna bring you soup when you’re sick and be that shoulder to lean on when your cat dies.
I wanna share my feelings with you.
I wanna hold you so tight I can’t let you go.
But first, I wanna find you.
