Want to Know



You, just you...when my eyes close, my mind goes
and holds just you like my arms wish to
but when they reach like they miss you
they miss you and just swish through sorta like what mist do
cause this you, which is viewed is only one that my brain fixed to
get you...to me
So unfortunate, cause when in your actual presences
when my arms try to reach my body won't let it
or if it does then you only get held for a second
definitely less than i wanted, maybe, and I'm just guessing
its cause my mind holds questions about you
cause my mind knows where my heart is
and it knows where yours started
but then yo heart cloaked it's self and went out of my minds view
and maybe my body doesn't want my arms holding something
longer than that something wants me to
and note this is just me guessing cause i don't want to assume
don't want to assume you like me if you don't or that you don't when you do
but i guess i won't know what you know til you want me to
that is if you want me to
so i'll just ask ask again, I know i want you
do you want me too?
