To Love You
To love you, I need to know you
I need to know your strengths, your weaknesses
I need to know how far you've come and where you're going
I need to know your likes and dislikes
I need to know why you want me
To love you, I need to live you
I need to cover myself in your existence
I need to feel you on my skin, in my heart
I need to breathe you in like Nicotine
I need to have you on my fingertips
To love you, I need to trust you
I need to trust you with my imperfect body
I need to trust you with my unclean hands
I need to trust you with my mind and soul
I need to trust you with my tattered heart
But I'm not ready yet...
