Let's fall in love. Let's do all the things we dreamt of doing when we were in high school. Let's drive around in a car and listen to all the important songs. The ones that say how we feel. The ones that only we, the lovers, can understand. Let's make out on the hood of that car, under the stars. Let's wish for this moment to last forever.

Let's fall in love. Let's do all the things we dreamt of doing when we were in college. Let's drive to the coast and read poems to each other. The ones that say how we feel. The ones that only we, the lovers, can understand. Let's lay in the sand, listening to the pounding surf, holding onto each other until the sun comes up. Let's wish that it never does.

Let's fall in love. Let's do all the things we dreamt of doing in our twenties. Let's fly to Paris or Thailand or Peru. Let's take pictures of each other in distant lands, pulling each other forward by our hands. Let's stay out all night in a strange city and dance and dance until we stumble back to our hostel in the morning. Let's get lost and take the wrong train together. Let's buy stupid little statues from strange cities. Let's wear sunglasses and kiss each other holding our cameras out and taking pictures of ourselves at the same time with one eye on you and your eye on me and we each have one eye turned towards the lens. Let's wish that the vacation never ends.

Let's fall in love. Let's do all the things we dreamt of doing in our thirties. Let's get a dog and a house and have kids. Let's stand before all of the people we know in really expensive clothes and tell them how much we love each other, and swear that we'll never let go.
