Knowledge

I wish to know 

Your childhood dreams

Memories held dear

What made you sad 

Who you want to be 

Your favorite haunts 

Your best experiences

People you miss

The things you regret 

Your proudest moments 

I wish to know 

What gives you pleasure

The things you enjoy 

The things you hate 

The smallest things 

I want to hear

Your fondest memories 

Every interest

The things you avoid

Things that inspire 

Every idiosyncrasy

 

I wish to know 

If time would allow 

If duty would step aside 

I wish to know 

You. 

I wish to share 

Smile about differences 

Be amazed at commonalities

Conquer fears  

Give each other hope

Gaze at the clouds 

Attack life together

Listen to crickets 

Admire the flames 

I wish to share 

Us
