To You
I want to hear what you dream and desire,
what sets you free and your eyes afire;
what steals over you and makes you whole,
what you will love no matter the toll.
I want to walk with you through all strife,
through all that besets us in this life;
through the joys that release your easy smiles,
through the deepest depths of despair's defiles.
I want to learn how to read all your faces,
how to make your heart jump off to the races;
how to quiet your tears and fears when they come,
how to assure you feel safe in love's soft thrum.
I want to feel what it'd be like to grow with you,
what it'd be like to be your eventual "I do";
what it'd be like to make that promise and that bet,
what it'd be like not to wonder - have we ever met?
