Plans Written in English

I want to wear sweaters and drink tea. A cobblestone home that is small and warm. A bridge to get to town that crosses streaming water. Trees, lots of them. Little black squirrels and chirping birds. Quiet streets and people passing on their bicycles. A garden that goes around the house. Furry animals living beneath, always stealing vegetables. A frustrated husband who is so cute when he is angry. A chimney that thick smoke comes out of in the winter. A burning fireplace with a patterned rug placed alongside. Driveway made of rocks, stones, and pebbles. Nicely placed windows that the sun shines through in the morning. A clawfoot tub filled with the right amount of bubbles. A smell of amber and spice constantly captured throughout the home. Lamps in every room. A big bed with a wooden headboard and silk cream sheets. A fresh bouquet of flowers gathered in a vase in the middle of the table. Neighbors that come over for a glass of crisp wine when we can. Friends to go to the pub for a drink with when times are hard. Honest and true, they help in enjoying life and not taking it too seriously. A place where I'm a stranger to, but everyone is nice regardless. A place that is new, but never felt more right. A place where I wake up next to you. A place where we call home.
