Short paragraph

How's my writing for a picture I took of a senior couple: As I was walking past the Pasadena Playhouse, I snapped a picture of these two joyful lovebirds holding hands and laughing care-freely without a care in the world... I knew instantly that that's what I want in my life.

Yes, indeed. And lovebirds are joyful by nature. Don't overdo ellipses.

What about:

As I was walking past the Pasadena Playhouse, I snapped a picture of these two lovebirds holding hands and laughing without a care in the world. I knew instantly that that's what (I want) in my life.

Since I don't have that love yet. Is it OK to put want instead of wanted?

The native method is to regress the verb to the past with the main verb, as I have done. If yours were 'OK', I would not have changed it.
