I want you and I want you too.
I want two loves around me. Swirling in a spiral, if possible.
Counter-clockwise.

I want to look up at the sky and see two faces.
Two moons orbiting an alien planet.
We left the old one behind. It couldn’t hold us anymore

I want to look up at the sky and see two faces.
Then I want them to look at each other with all the love in the Universe.
The Universe we created together. The old one couldn’t hold us anymore

I want two dogs and two cats and two lovers and 6 rooms, for when we need to be alone.
I want to collect all the love that loves me back and fill a house with it.
A new species of love that grows when exposed to sunlight. 
The old love couldn’t hold us anymore.
