Tell me everything about you

Where were you born?

How many siblings?

How many stains on your lucky shirt?

When did you lose your first tooth?

What was life like before me?

I know about the present

I have dreams about the future

But the crevices inside your soul

Secret memories I can’t touch

Tell me about those shadows

Tell me the good and bad

What’s your favorite beverage on a steaming hot day?

Who was your first kiss - what was her name?

What was your first job and when did you start?

Have you ever looked at the sky and tried to catch a star?

Did you always grasp life with your strong grip?

Or did everything come crashing down when you tripped?

Tell me everything I need to know

To be yours inside and out

No secrets between us

I want to know you

Past & present

Weak & strong

Black & white

Because I have to know you

Heart and soul

If I ever want to make you mine
