An Afternoon Laughing

You aren’t the kind of person that
I couldn’t fall in love with,
rather you are the kind of person that I could.
And I’d like to spend an afternoon of laughing at ourselves,
and hear all the wonderful things you might tell me.
I’d watch your eyes gleam during that time of day
when you can’t really tell if it’s day or night.
I’d like to think of us in twelve years having a place and
a daughter. I think she would look a lot like you.
We’d be all the time smiling.
Someone once asked me who
I’d most like to be with.
I said, «There's this really great gal that I’d like to hang
out with sometime.»
