I want to know you.
All your ***** secrets,
Your favorite successes,
And your biggest failures.
Who do you admire?
How you sleep at night?
Your deepest thoughts...
What you look like when you wake up in the morning.
Your biggest fears?
What brings you the most joy?
I want to know you.

‘Cause 3 days
was never enough
time

I need to know you, honey
I’m thirsting to know you.
I’m starving to feel;
to understand you.
I want to taste you on my tongue,
mull you over like a fine wine,
then sip some more.
I want to get drunk on the beauty of your person
and pass out in the hazy comfort of your arms

‘Cause 3 days
was just never enough
time

every thing you say
every thing you think
intrigues me.
where did you get your scars?
how did you break your nose?
your sisters.
your father.
the flaws you talk about so much.
i want to know everything

3 days wasn’t and never will be enough.
