Imperfect Divine

I want to know you..
I want to know your eyes when they first open, as they explore mine at the start of a new day.
I want to know your first smile in the morning.. And the last before bed.
I want to know what makes your heart sing and your mind dance.
I want to know what uplifts you beyond the clouds and what holds you tightly to the earth.
I want to know what your favourite colour is and what music speaks to your soul.
I want to know what type of jokes makes you laugh and what type of movies you'd spend days watching.
I want to know if you love to read and which stories will never leave you.
I want to know how you express yourself, do you find words, shapes or colours to fill your emotions?
I want to know your moments of love and it's astounding ecstacy.
I want to know how you love and who.
But more importantly that than happiness, i want to know your darkness.
I want to know the sadness that droops your eyelids and leaves that distant longing in your eyes.
I want to know your coldest thought and your most terrifying dreams.
I want to know your weaknesses and how you found your strength.
I want to know why your so afraid and why you hold so many defenses.
I want to know what makes you tear and what makes you thankful.
I want to know what makes you doubt, what makes you ache, what makes you cry.
I want to know how you think and what you believe to be true.
I want to know you, not just your body and your likes and dislikes, but you.
I want to know how the universe you've created, surrounds you, and i want to know at the end of it all, what makes your heart beat a little softer or a little harder..
I want to know you.
Just you.
Imperfect divine.
So don't you see?
It was never a question of dating, it was never a question of where we'll end up, but it was always an opportunity to share yourself, and for once, for me to really know you as you learn of me.
