nights like these

Its the nights like these -- The nights that end the long, seemingly never ending day. The nights that proceed another equally busy day. But somehow, in this moment, three classes a midterm and a critique don't seem nearly as busy as the day that just ended.
Its the nights like these -- When I've worked hard and finished something that I'm happy about.  Something that I am proud of.
Its the nights like these -- When my mind is racing almost until the sun comes out.
Its the nights like these that make it worth it. That fill me with hope, creativity, passion, inspiration.
Its the nights like these that make me want to conquer the world.
Its the nights like these that make me feel like I can actually conquer the world. That my dreams are achievable.  
Its the nights like these that I stay up daydreaming about my future.
Its the nights like these that find me in the morning with the stale taste of coffee on my breath.

Its these nights. Its these nights that I love.

If you want to get me a meaningful gift just give me a journal. And then take me on adventures and supply deep conversations to fill it up.

I'm just passing away the hours and the pages with words until you arrive to take me on an adventure. We could bombard the local Starbucks and order each other the most extravagant drinks and leave them with fictitious names such as "Starlord" or "Sunbeam". Or we could dress up as news anchors and pretend that a hobo just won the lottery. When we hand over the gigantic check we can see joy and amusement in his eyes. He knows we are just playing but he likes the attention. He breaks down in tears when we hand him a real $50 gift card to Red Lobster. We could go to the Animal Shelter and visit the pets. We will name all the dogs cliche names like Max and the cats equally cheesey names like Rory. We could go to the movies & sneak around to see our favorite scenes over and over again. We could pack up the car with a picnic and drive till the sun comes out. We could go to the park and pretend to be musicians, playing for tips but we only know one song; Come Together by the Beatles. We could go to IKEA and pretend its our home. We will bake cookies and make tea for our "visitors". We will be the most hospitable IKEA hosts.

In reality though it doesn't matter what we do. So long as we do it together. We could do something as lame as going to Walmart or even just stay at home and sit side by side. We don't even have to look at each other. Just know you are there. Just being able to feel your presence. That would be enough adventure for me.
