I want to know
If you see the fear in my eyes
From past hurt and past disappointments
From one too many leaving
I want to know
If you ever dream of my voice
If you ever wonder
What my voices vibration
Would feel like
If you were to place your head
On my chest
I want to know
That when you say
I love you
If you mean it
Or
Are you just saying it to fill a void
To fill a false perception on what love is
To fill a need that you have
For someone to be by your side
Because you can not live with JUST yourself
I want to know
Allot of things
I want to know
You
Beyond the basics
"What's your favorite color?"
"What's your favorite food?"
Yes, I want to know the little things to
But what I really want to know
Is what is on the inside
Of your soul, heart, and mind
I want to know
That despite age and distance
That there is an us
That this is not fiction
Some words on a screen
Some Skype chats
That will never turn into a visit
A real face to face conversation
A real hug, a real kiss
I want to know
That I am not investing my time
In a illusion
