Tell me
Your dreams,
Your wishes,
Your desires,
Your fears,

Tell me
The things you hate
about yourself
The things you regret
in your life

I want to know all of this
about you
I want to know what you see
when you look in the mirror

Then

I want to see what you see
in yourself

after that

I want to love whatever you are
I want to take hold of it all in my hands
and my heart

Then

I want to discover more
I want to go on an adventure
with the goal of learning
You
and who you are
who you want to be
and who you don't want to be

Do you curse every time you sound like your father?
Do you smile when you act like your mother?
Are you awake thinking of love at 2am?
Or are you sound asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow?

I want to know why you love the morning
but why you hate so badly to wake up

I want to know why you never drink whiskey
but love a good beer

I want to know why you can't lose control
but desire freedom and adventure

What did you want to be when you were 7?
Why didn't you think you could become that?

All of you
I want to know it
I want to feel it

But Then

I want to show you how I see you
How I know you

I want you to see
how your smile gives me butterflies
and how your wink leaves me wanting more
of you

I want you to see that you are intelligent
that some number on a paper doesn't display your common sense

I want you to see that
the look you have when you kiss me
makes the world around us disappear
and my desire for you grow
and not desire for physicality's alone
but desire
to learn more of you
and to be the only one
who was willing to figure you out
but not only that
but I want to be
the only one who kept going
who wanted to keep learning more about you

Most of all

I want you to know
that no matter how you see yourself
whether that be good or bad
I will always see you
as an adventure
and a risk
that I am glad I took

And no matter
your feelings to me
or toward yourself

I will always
always
love you.
