This poem ask the question many of us seek when we enter a relationship - whether it will be intimate or plutonic. It expresses my own inner thoughts, yet gives that special someone the opportunity to express theirs as well.

This poem originally was published in Love Poems - Love and Friendship Poems

I Want To Know
I want to know the you
That has not been introduced to anyone else.
I'm talking about the you
That you've been keeping to yourself.

I want to know your most recent fantasy -
You know, the one that just tickled your fancy.
I want to know each and every thought of me,
So I can lay back and contemplate bringing them to reality.

I want to know that spot
That seems to be under so much stress.
Because as a body physician, I have the answer -
It just needs to be caressed.

I want to know if that same spot
Was rubbed, licked and kissed,
Would your mind ponder
On what you could've missed.

I want to know what makes you happy,
What makes you sad,
What makes you sigh
And what makes you cry.

If I have to take a dive,
And explore the ocean floor,
I'll find out
And bring it back to shore.

I want to know,
That no matter what we're going through
Whether our lives are sunny or blue
I want to know - do I have a friend in you?

    I am persuing a special girl. I am serious about her. In my own mind she is the one for me, but she understandably says let's just be friends for now. These words of this poem say what I have been repeating to her for a month, but ineffectively --- at least I think so. But when I read this to her her response was an overwhelming positive. Now I feel I have hope.

    Words are used to communicate. Knowing how to put words together to express a complete thought is easy to do. But only the best of the best can put thoughts together to express the truth. Poets have a hard job to do, because they have to be sincere in order for their readers to enjoy their poetry. I enjoyed this poem not only because I have experience the feeling, but because it was well written and explained the poets thoughts in detail.
