Making Plans with You

I live inside the Plan it Planet

Every minute marked upon a calendar

Appointments to work

Appointments to eat

Appointments to remember to live...

So busy planning that sometimes we forget to ACTUALLY live

And whether we're catching up over coffee

Or depositing a check at the bank

Or picking out a movie to entertain us on a Saturday night

We plan it

And I often think to myself

I miss those spontaneous moments

Those unplanned minutes of pure us

But find myself making plans for us anyway

It's what I do and I can't seem to help it

Like plans to be together for just over the horizon into forever

Plans to have you and hold you and keep you

And then I remember how much I LOVE to make plans

So, Lover, can I just have your whole day?

This whole life with you?

Jot me down on all the squares and rectangles

Monday through Friday

Pencil it in everyday of the years that go by

And I'll show up to all of them

I promise you this

I'll be there waiting for you just like we planned it

Whether I meet you for dinner after work

Or I meet you in bed after a long day without you

Because there is no one on this planet

That I want to make plans with more than with you
