Who Is The Real You?

by Barbara   Feb 22, 2006


I love everything I know about you.
That is so easy for me to see.
But what I'm not sure is who you are and what you're about.
That has me filled with so much curiosity.

I know the shape of your face.
I know your smile when you look at me.
But i don't know your past, or even your present.
I know nothing about your friends and family.

You know how lonely I was
before the day I met you.
You know how in love with you I am.
But that's almost everything you know about me, too.

I know you love me for what you know.
But, if you knew everything, would you love me still?
If you knew how badly I used to trash my body and my life,
if you knew I was the person I tried to kill?

I wish I could tell you everything, but I don't want you to be scared of me.
I don't want you to be scared of who I was.
I want you to see the person I am right now.
This person, in the present, is who I want you to love.

I want you to be in love with me.
But don't do it out of guilt or fear.
Do it because you want it that way.
Do it because you wanna be right here.

Please, just get to know how I really am.
So I can get to know you.
That way we can be together with everything out in the open.
and everything we tell each other is true.
