When you ask for a person
For "Note: 48-HOUR CHALLENGE : Media Prompt Deadl..."

What does it mean, to 'want' a person?

You want the conversation.
You want the shared memories.
You want the new adventures, discoveries together.
You want the love
You want the comfort of expressing yourself
to someone who understands you

You want someone who knows that you
like your toast slightly burnt
Someone who understands your silences
more than even you do
Someone who won't misinterpret your words.

You want someone to laugh with, cry with
joke with, be serious with, be silly with
To have 'those' talks - in all meaning of the
word 'those'.

You want someone who shares your space
without crowding you
Who hums along without drowning out your voice
Who sings a tune you can hum to

Someone who floats merrily merrily with you
but knows when to take an oar
rig up the sail
or put the outboard motor on.

So when you ask for a person as a gift
You're asking for more
than a present
you're asking for a past and a future, too.
