I want to go to Home Depot
and argue with you over colors for the drapes.
"You can not throw a house warming party with black curtains."
I want the employees to all side with my ideas for the kitchen tile,
but for your ideas on the paint.
I want to break out into a bad sit com,
everyone will sing and dance around us while we debate over furnishing.
I want to receive the look that says,
"You realize what we're senselessly fighting over, right?"
And I'll subconsciously agree.
You'll place the lamp you were about to throw back down on the shelf, and I'll put down mine.
And together we'll walk hand in hand
back to our happily, incomplete house.

A house is just a house if you don't know how to live in it.

I read this when you first posted it, but didn't leave a comment. Not because it wasn't good, but because it was so very. Lovely work. ^V^

so true, honestly written. Do you ever wonder if arguments about material things are not driven by frustrations that have nothing to do with the material things that become the center of the arguments? This made me wonder about that.
