I want to know you past what your bio says

I want to know more than what your bio says.

I want you to tell me about every person you've ever been in love with.

Tell me why you loved them then tell me why they loved you.

Tell me about a day in your life you swore you wouldnt live through

and then tell me how you made it to the next day.

I want to know what the word "home" means to you just by the way you describe your bedroom when you were 7.

See i want to know you like i want to know the first time you felt the weight of hate on your shoulders.

Would you rather melt under the sunny heat or rake leaves.

Do you prefer to play in puddles of rain or bounce in the bellies of snow?

And when you build snowmen do you rip branches off of trees or would you leave the snowman armless for the sake of being harmless .

I want to know if youre a tree hugger.

Do you hug your friends?

Do you stand to comfort them even when it makes your lover mad?

See i want to know what you think of your first name.

I want to know if you have a middle name.

 Hell i want to know if you've imagined your mother speaking it for the first time.

I want you to tell me all the ways you've been cruel

and all the ways you've done an act of charity.

See i want to know more than whats your twitter name.

I want to know how much you plan on just giving.

I want to know if you love yourself enough to recieve from others.

I want to know if you bleed from other's wounds.

I want to study the way you hold a pencil.

Do you like to write or would you rather use your hands to fight off zombies.

 I want to know you better than the back of my hand.

I want to know you how huckleberry knew jim.

I want to know you how booth knew lincoln.

I want to know you how beyonce knew jay.

How Romeo saw Juliette.

How historians knew washington

how Washington knew agriculture

Shit, I want to know you more than what your bio says.
