Let me be curious about you.
I'm going to ask many questions,
make sure to leave two fifths of them
left unanswered -
less than that would turn us into strangers,
more than that would lead us to
take each other for granted.
There's comfort in the idea of a person
as a safe place and as much as
I'd like you to be mine,
I want to explore every corner of you
with the same excitement in the eyes
I had when I learned your name.
I've often contemplated these words with a few people in my past, but like the wind they were blown into history, like the pyramids.
