Enigmatic I Love Yous

I want to see you.

 

I want to see

all of you.

 

I want to hear

about your day, or about

the movie you rented

yesterday,

 

or the last time you cried

and why.

 

I

want

to see

your mind

naked.

 

I want to take a walk

in your starry sky, into the disturbing left-outfield

of your mind

 

and I want to

bandage your scrapes

kiss away the pain

of your bruises,

 

 

I want to know

the depths of your every subtlty

I can't pretend to understand--

 

or how you got those perfect eyes,

or the broken blisters

on your hands.

 

The blissful simplicity

of your smile, searching for

the enigmatic I love yous
in these words,

 

while my mind, shaking and

standing naked before you

wants to see you

 

smiling,

searching for

my enigmatic I love yous

and finding them.
