vorrei by Carolyn CovilleVorrei
to lay next to you and peacefully
close my eyes after staring into yours,
to wake in the morning and cook you
eggs, bacon, biscuits,
while singing to Italian music
playing in the background
Vorrei
to spend evenings snuggling myself into your cozy chest,
my lips brushing your neck,
your firm arms securing my delicate frame
Vorrei
to run away with you, pack my belongings
and follow you to your home state in the country
as crazy as that may seem
You think you could never have me;
if only you knew you already do. 12/05/2004 Author's Note: vorrei: italian, 'i would like/want'
