to cuddle and protect!

that's what                                .

for hand-holding, daisy-picking, sweet-talking. for smiling to and with and for rolling
on the ground all crazy and laughing till the world ends

(..sooner for me)


just,
the idea--
of free-spirited and happy souls, dimpled faces, cute                   and                                   

a grin.
emily, clara, lily, katie  (you can fall in love with any name)
(maybe even..)
whoever, whatever, everybody, nobody

in other words:  (worlds?)
i want to love and protect and hold and hug you forever and ever
to make you safe, make sure you're smiling and happy and loved as long as the    _    lives
