Things I would like to do with you

The mental exhaustion from the week has ruined my motivation to be productive tonight.  Instead of a textbook, I've wandered from this place to that, ultimately ending up on Elephant Journal.  I've noticed someone post a lot of links from there and they always catch my attention.  They are, by no means, any lighter reading than a textbook.  Perhaps they are even heavier, only in a different way.

While browsing through their products page, I noticed one item called "Things I would like to do with you".  The title was more than enough to catch my attention.   It turns out it's a book that will be released next year.

In my mind, there is a list of things that I would like to do with that one special person.  I wonder how my list compares to the author's?

My list was long.  There was so much I wanted to do.

Actually, it was our list.  You sat down, with pen and paper, and actually wrote a list.

I don't know if any of them ever got done.

Over time, through the ups and downs, my list has really been reduced to one thing: travel.  Not just any traveling.  I want to travel to the places from my past and tell you everything there is to know about my past.  I want to travel to the places from your past and have you tell me everything that has made you into the person that I know and love.  I want to get to know you inside and out.  I want you to know me like nobody else.

People always ask what I want for my birthday or for Christmas.  This is what I want.  But nobody can give me that.  I have to earn it.

I lied.

How could my list possibly be reduced to one thing?
