I've never wanted anything more than to travel into your mind,
To read every thought you ever note down there,
Understand every emotion your heart generates,
and feel every move your soul feels.
I've never wanted anything more than to touch your thoughts
when they're unguarded, natural, flowing aimlessly.
I've longed, since the time I met you,
to take a dive into your stream of consciousness,
to watch you filter out thoughts before they leave your lips,
and to know why, they in particular, didn't make the cut.
I need to find the thoughts that you create,
the ones you ridicule yourself for,
I want to know why you think they're any less,
when they're worth so much more.
I want to delve deep into that place within you,
where your secrets dance around,
restless to make they're way out,
yet desperate to be locked inside.
I want you to know, you no longer have to hide.
I want to talk to those demons within you,
the ones that you think are stronger than life,
I want to tell them they're wasting they're time,
within a soul who believes loving selflessly is no crime.
I've longed to know of what you fear for,
and what sometimes brings a tear.
I wish to get to know the lover you want near.
I've craved to witness what you must dream of at night
and whether your eyes waste away, asleep till dawn's light,
or if your eye lids battle sleep, to awake,
knowing they'll lose the fight.
I've always wanted to get inside your head.
And then one day, you began to write.
