A Lot Like Love

Our existing is ethereal,
I devour the moments with my soul,
the good, and even the insanely awful,
everything I have of you is beautiful.
Your knowledge moves me,
you open my eyes every day,
sometimes prying the lids
as I fight you away,
but even still
I am greatful.
I know you, but I still have so much to learn.
I don't mean to interigate or defile,
I just wish to experience all that is you.
I touch the surface of your skin,
and I try my best to go deeper,
digging through the words you say
hoping to find the bones that you're hiding.
I want all of you,
but I'll take any little bit you can offer.
As long as you're by my side,
I know I'm whole.
