1. we're driving down this aged neighborhood in Dilworth and the houses are brick with glossy black shutters. The trees are large with huge leafy canvases and the sky is gray and bright like a sheer heather gray sweater over the sun. i pick out a beautiful brick cottage with wisterias growing around the perimeter. "that one's beautiful," I tell him. He pulls up to the house across the street so we can study it. "yeah it is, when we grow up we can buy the house when we're famous writers."
"I want that room right there to write in," I say pointing to a window draped the most in the purple foliage. "Fine," he says,"and i'll grow you a little garden below it so you can look out at it while you write."
2. Zero 7 "Destiny"
3. we're at the shabby excuse for a lakehouse and we're in the back of the jeep with the trunk open. we're in our swimsuits and we're lying in there making up stories. we make it a challenge to rhyme the words. we come up with a tale about ladies with wooden hips and great sailing ships. the sun is bright and shines through thick overhead tree leaves and branches in slivers of warmth that makes my insides smile. He kisses me and i can taste the saltiness of his lips and the lazy heat of summer.
4. Bill Withers "Ain't no Sunshine"
5. Poems scribbled on sweaty rumpled scraps of notebook paper. he wrote like E.E Cummings. like for serious...
6. we're driving in the car and his ipod's plugged in. Michael Jackson's History plays. I look over at him speechless. he smiles, "You like Michael so i downloaded the whole two disc albums so you'd have something to listen to." He hates michael. I sing Billy Jean at the top of my lungs out of the windows that he always liked to have down and he tries to catch on to the beat.
7. Boyz II Men "I"ll Make Love to You"
8. Singing Guns n Roses "Welcome to the Jungle" at full volume and trying to be bad ass like Axle.
9. Driving on his lap through an empty parking lot cause he's smart enough not to let me drive that huge jeep on my own and i won't stop begging. I can't drive worth shit.
10.Smokey Robinson "Cruisin"
11. Calling me from one of his drunken camping trips to tell me "goodnight and I love you". his friend's retching sounds audible in the background.
12.Eric Clapton "Wonderful Tonight"
13. Knowing what my kiss tastes like. (green jolly ranchers)

19.It's freezing we're held up in his car listening to oldies, playing my jump off "i-know- more- songs- than- you. Isley Brothers For the Love of You comes on. We start singing to each other pointing and swaying to the beat. we lose count over whose winning.... well maybe just he did. Him: 3 Me: 5 bonus points for Twisted Sister.
20. Edwin McCain "I'll be"
21. Spending a day in the woods we're walking to his car side by side. "Sometimes i think, 'I could see myself doing this with you everyday.' Like i guess I could marry this girl. It wouldn't be too horrible," he says nonchalantly. I push him and he laughs. then he pushes my ass right back.
