The real you

And just for a moment, let's get lost. Let's hide under the sheets like we did when we were kids and let all of our worries slip away. Do you remember that feeling of being so innocent? Where nothing else mattered? Let's go back to that. Let's wander away from the world around us and create our story. It may be a little sporadic and it may be completely and utterly messy, but nonetheless, let us paint a beautiful picture together. I want to let the colors dance across the canvas to create something wonderful. You say you're not good at words, but I fall for actions, my love. It's not about who you've been or what you've been through. It's about who you are. I want to know everything. Tell me your biggest fear and tell me your greatest accomplishment. Tell me what lingers in your mind when it's 3 a.m. and there's nothing else to do except think. I haven't had many good examples of love in my life, so everything I've learned about love has been from trial and error. I may screw things up sometimes but bear with me. My main goal is to get to know you and who you are beneath the beauty. Tell me what keeps you awake at night. Tell me why you wake up in the morning. Explain what keeps you from giving up during hard times. I want to know the real you, not the version of you the world sees.
