how to make me fall in love with you
tell me what song you listen to at midnight, when everyone else is asleep
tell me that one line that makes you dream of the future, that fills you with impossible possibilities
tell me of the feeling you get when you wake up at 3 a.m., when you feel as if the stars have aligned over your bed
show me your favorite movies, show me the scene that always makes you cry
show me your deepest fears and darkest dreams, ones that have never seen the light
sit with me on a rainy sunday afternoon, talking about nothing and everything
tell me about that one summer that gives you a feeling inside that is impossible to describe
tell me of when you were 8 and wished to travel among the stars
tell me of when you were 14 and realized that you never would
sit with me in your childhood bedroom, reading your favorite bedtime story to me
let me see you in an empty room, painting your story upon the walls
and maybe, just maybe
one day i will pick up a brush
and join you.
