To be known

To be loved is to be known.

I want to know every little thing about you.
Tell me what makes you tic.
What gets you out of bed on a bad day?
Or who?
And who do you think about right before you slip into sweet sleep?
What are all your favorites?

I want to know everything.

Who was your first loss?
First love?
What is your greatest wish?

Tell me every word of that "dumb" story you've told a thousand times.
Let me write it down.
Every time you smile, I want to know why.

I want to make you smile.
I want you to feel known.
I want you to feel loved.
