I want to barely make ends meet,
counting quarters from the couch.
I want to live off of ramen noodles,
because warmth is all I really need. (rewrite: because your warmth is all I need)
I want to dumpster dive every Sunday, (each?)
I’m ready to take that leap, with you (Can we assume you mean with her? Rewrite: I'm prepared to take that leap)
I want our love to be up close and personal,
our eyes locked and our bodies touching. (is "our" needed? I'm not sure but it sounds better without it.)
I want to be where you are, wherever you are.
because when we are together I feel infinite. (I feel like infinite has more to do with quantity or an amount of something. Maybe invincible? Rewrite: Because with you I feel invincible - or - Together we are infinite?)
But I will love you from the greatest distance,
because your heart never seems to be very far. (I don't think this last sentence is quite fluid or coherent. Maybe rewrite: I will love you from a distance even when your heart is far)
I also really enjoy the line "I want to change our names and travel," reminds me of me and my hubby!
Good job
Thank you!
I love your suggestions. I have made some edits, but I'll wait a few more days before I post the edit! I like it more already, thanks again.
