i have to listen better

i want to listen better

i want to know you

i want to learn you

i want to understand you

the way

that no man ever took the time to do

i don't want to be like them

i want to know you the way that i love to know

with patience and curiosity

i want to be taken in by you

and will you please lead me?

i am willing to come, knowing nothing

knowing only that you

are the lover

the only lover that i ever had

that i am the only lover that you have ever wanted

teach me, please

how to seep like honey into you

how to flow like water into you

teach me

please

what it feels like to

know

you

the way

that you

have always

wanted to be known
