The real you

What is your favourite colour?

What is your favourite food?

What makes you happy?

What puts you in a good mood?

The light and happy things

That, bring out the best

The other unusual things

That put us all to the test

What gives you pleasure?

As you go about your day?

The birds singing in the trees

Sunshine on a rainy day

I just want and need to know

Like the flower needs the rain

Please let me in: I ask to be allowed

Into your secret garden

That guarded secret place

Where you are really you

Not that everyday façade!

I want to know: what you like?

I need to know: what sets you free!

From all of your worries: from all of your cares

So please: enlighten me

My dearest love: give me entrance

Into that treasure trove

The thoughts that flutter through

Your calm and peaceful mind

The things that relax you

Those things that help you to unwind

All these things and more

I’d really like to explore

But only if you’ll let me: only if you are sure

So tell me please: give me info

About the real you: that only I will know

The one that no one else sees

The one that you are when you’re all alone

The one that you are when you relax and unwind

These few things I’d like to understand

If we are to be together as planned

Simple little things that matter only to you…to me…

These things I’d really like to see!

Not the other you that you “have” to be

The other man you have to show

To the world: to others who want to know

But the deeper man you are

And these things I need to see

To know you the way I want

To know you the way I need!
