To: You

I Want To

I want to be able to read one day

Not to read books or magazines

Or websites about cheese

I want to read the stories that lie in your head

The ones that come out

The ones that are fun

Ones that seem to appear around one.

Maybe at two

Or maybe at three.

All I know is that

We'd be able to solve

Some sort of mystery.

I want to read your thoughts

Little things on your mind

Everything that passes by

Right behind your eyes.

I want to be able to know you.

Know the stories

And the lies.

I want to be able to hold you

Whenever you want to cry.

So stranger let me know you

Whether it be small or big

I want to be able to help you.

Like you once did.

It's time to return the deed.

As once in a while I'll need,

Someone to hold me too

While I relearn how to sleep.
