Love Poem: The Great Wall

The Great Wall

In all honesty.
I guess I never did really know you.
I knew the basics:
Your favorite colors,
Your favorite rapper,
Your height,
Your fears,
And even some secrets
But what I didn’t know was
How your face looked after waking up in the morning
Or
Your reaction to awkward sex scenes in movies
Or even
The way you walk down the halls in school
I’ll never know this 
I’ll never know what you think about late at night
When the world is asleep and
Its only you and your mind
I’ll never know what makes you cry, 
Or what makes you laugh.
I never got to know you.
You never let me in.
