Interchange

I want to know you
With every fiber of my being.
I want to know you
Inside out.

When the leaves fall,
I will continue to fall desperately.
To hear the sound of your voice
Brush across the sounds of silent revery

I mean to see you
I mean to know you
But the flutter of my chest
And the blood in my head
Sends me to shivering stillness.

I want to know you
With every part of my soul
I want to see the beautiful parts
Now hidden by dirty soil.

We can clean it away
You can see my stains
And touch them with yours
And we can wash them plain.

I want to know you
With every inch of my skin
I want to trace the heart in your chest
And feel your love pour in.
