the second time around…

there will be tattoos ~ not diamonds

nothing larger than queen size

there will be laughter at the dinner table… not silence

meals cooked together

heat and air conditioning

random road trips just because

family vacations

important alone time

no jealousy

communication

trust

respect

music everywhere all the time

when you’ve failed miserably once… the second time your expectations are lower which allow you to be free about the things you want ‘cause you already have experienced the worse… there is truly a feeling of nothing to lose when laying out needs, expectations and desires… it frees you to be you and be certain that you are in fact who they want

and my favorite song from RENT today.... 'I'll Cover You' ~

'so with a thousand sweet kisses
i'll cover you
with a thousand sweet kisses
i'll cover you
when you're worn
out and tired
when your heart has expired...'
