I don't want you to know me,
I want you to know who I am,

I want to sit in your car with the radio on,
turned up loud so I can sing to my favorite song

I want you to drag me to the latest action movies,
and I want to hold your hand at haunted houses

I want to tell show you the poems I like,
and read you my favorite lines

I want to ask what books we've both read,
and discuss our favorite characters

I want to take you to my favorite city,
and eat pizza in the little restaurant that I love

I want to know what your favorite food is,
and bake you cookies every once in a while

I don't want just want you to know all the facts,
I want you to experience them all

I don't want you to know my life,
I want you to be by my side as it unfolds
