I'd like to meet:
I'm going to find an island and start a tribe. we'll build forts and have adventures all day long.our face paint will crack in the hot sun and we'll have soot all over our bodies from fire dancing. we will climb trees so high that we can see for miles. all we will do is play. all day. forever. and in the evenings we'll swim in the ocean and drink tea, play scrabble by the fire and fall asleep in hammoks. we won't wear shoes or read the news.
Music:
pianos that are out of tune. acoustic stuff. lovely pretty sounds. maybe we could make time for each other and plan a day where the only thing on the agenda is smiling. we'll write the words to our song and sing it with our hearts. soon everyone will know our song and call in to their favorite radio stations and dedicate it to the people they love most.

Sunday morning,
On the bed two half-eaten croissants.
Sunday morning,
We'll soon be out on the boulevards.Monday morning,
We have to fly back home again.
While I'm sleeping,
You paint a ring on my finger with your black marker-pen.I'm all about you, you're all about me,
We're all about each other.
I'm all about you, you're all about me,
We're all about each other.You don't have to tell, 'cause I know so well
What we are all after.
Likewise if uncertainty puts a spell on me,
I have to zoom in on your laughter.Wednesday morning,
We sleep over and we're late again.
Let's skip breakfast,
We need this precious time just to comprehend.
Books:
You know that place between sleep and awake, the place where you can still remember dreaming? That's where I'll always love you, Peter Pan. That's where I'll be waiting.
-J.M.Barrie, Peter Pan
It's lovely to live on a raft. We had the sky up there, all speckled with stars, and we used to lay on our backs and look up at them, and discuss about whether they was made or only just happened.
- Mark Twain, the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Heroes:
my heart is too stretched out for heroes, but I really like most of the old people I know. and Mr. Finney from Boy Meets World.
give me a drink
whatever you've got
I want to spend some time in your spotyou know we've searched this place
for something to love without a tracewhat's mine is yours
take the last piece of bread
you can borow my clothes
and take a nap in my bedcause you know we've searched this place
for something to love
and I see your face
it's all I think of for me todayyou know we've searched this place
for something to love without a traceyou hold the string
and I'll pull it thight
I'm trying to be something you likeoh you know we've searched this place
for something to love and I see your face
it's all I think of for me today
