In an ideal world,
I'd meet her somewhere, somehow, some place
Someone might introduce us
I might notice first and make the move or vice versa
in this here world it would not matter
I'd ask her out
maybe she'll form a bit, maybe not,
maybe we'd hit it off right away
maybe it'll take some time
but we'd finally be together
We would date for a while
and I'll pop out a ring at a dinner date
and on my knees, I'd ask her to marry me
While the joint's band played 'Will you marry me'on cue
She would gleefully scream "YES"
and kiss me like life depended on it
We would marry in a quiet serene place
dressed in white before a hundred gaze
We'd honeymoon somewhere within our means
and the place would be exotic cos we are in
Honey moon
-hunt for the treasure
we'd fumble our way to knowledge and pleasure
We would have two delightful kids
A pretty princess first
and a dark dude to have her back
we would have our lil fights
but they'll never grow
We wouldn't talk about rights
And only selflessness would we sow
Always putting "US" first with our mights
She would say something crazy like
'My husband is always right'
And I'll do something utterly mad like
Doing my utmost to measure to this height
Though the human pecadillo in me strikes
or vice versa
She would say something stupid like
'I will love you forever'
And I'll say something idiotic like
'God knows I dont deserve you ever'
We would kiss and make up
make up sex will not be strange to us
I would work my behind off
to get comfort for her and The Littles
She'd take care of us all
never a button loose, never a tummy unfilled
A tidy nest to grow for us all
In an ideal world
we'd do our 75 years anniversary
amidst great, grand and children children
We would watch them all grow with smiles
re-telling how our life has been together
In an ideal world
it wouldnt matter who went before the other
The one would follow the other anyways-
grateful to God to have found
A near-perfect spouse in each other
All in an ideal world.
All in an ideal world
*sigh*

>>Myne Whitman
Fights are not the issue, tis how they are fought innit?
You know that saying 'all is fair in love and war?', I think is totally idiotic. Unless someone is validating my suspicion that war and love are pieces of the same family of crap.
Anyhooos, we are trying to be optimistic here...shay?
lol
>>Rene
*sigh*
>>Nice Anon
Nice Babay, so they keep telling me.
You wouldnt believe the number of people I've started avoiding for trying to drum that into my head, lol.
Anyways...optimism thrusters up...YES WE CAN!!!
LOL
Mancee and The Multitude are trying to be optimistic for the new year. See we are even doing the Obama routine.
"YES WE CAN"
lol, of course I believe it till I wake up and my brain takes over again...
I got a little misty eyed reading that. The longing felt so real.

@Sunnyside

@inco
She does those things coz its part of her primary wifely duties...forgive me, but I guess I'm just old fashioned to also assume that the guy does his too (like working the black off his hinny to give her comfort) cos its primarily his duty.
My christmas? It was AWESOME.
Tanx. urs?
@TayneMent
Thats it...chin up.
Yes we can.
