This Particular Now

This,
Right now,
Is what I want.
Always.
I want the smell of theatre mingling with sunset,
I want the infinite days and the starry nights.
I want the pain that comes with laughing this hard,
with feeling this much.
I want all of it.  
I want the nostalgia and the euphoria and the pain and the loss and the love.
I want the memories that drown me, I want the experiences and adventures
 that show and shape and change me.
I want to meet people that I deserve to live within walking distance of.  
I want it to be more of a blessing than a curse to feel this much.
I want to always have this golden iridescent lense that I see through,
 I want everything to be singed with light.
I want to learn to embrace the night and encircle the stars.
I want my everything to always feel like the thud of the bass
 through my chest,
the feeling that I know can't last forever, the one that is best felt
 with a heavy dose of starlight.
This,
This particular now,
Is all I want,
All I need.
