Common Interest

You say
We need more in common,
Because you like sports and cars
And wouldn't it be wonderful if you had
Someone to share it all with?

And in the middle of your complaint
You are interrupted by an excited voice,
Huge, inquisitive eyes just like your own
But with my smile and build.
She wants attention
From both of us.

Before you can return to your point,
he runs in with all of my energy and enthusiasm.
You're his favorite person to cuddle with,
But he won't go to bed without his mother's song.
He wants to eat whatever you're eating,
And whatever I'm slicing on the cutting board--
Tiny hand groping around boldly from below.

If we did nurse the narcissistic need
To be reflected in another
We would quickly find that we have worlds in common,
Two pieces of heaven:
One which began in 2009, and one in 2011.

Dream

I had the craziest dream about you on Saturday night. 

I met you and her @ some divey bar where you girls were dancing and singing karaoke, you both looked like you were having an amazing time when I got there. She left and then we left and started walking. you had an amazing twinkle in your eyes, like you were reflecting all of the stars back at me when I looked at you.

As we walked I reached into my pocket and pulled out a package and gave it to you. when you opened it there was the most beautiful white sabertooth tiger inside. a HUGE animal, it was fantastic. The further we walked the more packages I gave you. one with a tiny kitten made of pure gold, when it meowed it was like a ROAR that could be felt as much as heard. one after another I gave you packages containing cats. this one made of rainbows, the next chocolate, cotton candy, leather, and steel. the cats kept coming. 

It seemed like hours we walked and talked. the stars, the cold night air, me touching your hand, you touching mine back, making faces and cracking jokes. still the cats kept coming. 

by the time we circled back it felt as though we were flying. as you crossed the street to the front door there were cats EVERYWHERE! it was crazy. I thought, "that's a lot of cats! I wonder where shes going to put all those cats? does she even want A cat? let alone 100 cats?!"

The walk was amazing. sorry if I gave you a thousand nuisance cats.
