I want you to really know me

I mean like realllly know me

like know my favorite song

know me so well that you know

I don’t have a favorite song because i like them all

know that i don’t have a favorite color because i like them all

know that i feel like a rainbow,

that I am a rainbow

and know that i’m gold

baby, pure gold

know me so well that you know that i’m rusted even though I’m still Gold.

know where i‎t hurts so you know when to laugh

know my favorite ice cream flavor

but know me well enough to know that i’m lactose intolerant

but that i really don’t care and say screw i‎t and eat i‎t anyways.

i want you to know me like the back of your palm

not just one - yes both

reading me all over like your favorite book you can’t seem to put down

i want you to know when i’m down

so you can pick me back up

until I learn how to do i‎t myself

I want you to know that i’m in love with myself

so in love that I would

do anything

give anything

to make me happy

and I do mean anything -

know me well enough to know

that knowing me is a privilege not to be taken for granted

never take me for granted

or make me wish I never knew you,

because I want to get to know you

Just as well as you get to know me.
