I just want to learn

I just want to learn

I want to learn about you.

I want to learn what makes you happy

what makes you sad

what makes you unreasonably angry

what makes you laugh uncontrollably

and I want to learn

about your favorite song

and what makes it so special

and I want to learn

what age you were

when you realized

you felt sad most of the time

and what age you were

when you realized

you weren’t sad like you once were

and I want to learn

what makes you so special

because you are so special

    A beautiful piece of work. Written from the heart, it seems. 🙂

    There’s a lot we can learn from someone we are so curious over, just by asking. Though, that takes some amount of courage to do. I hope that you find it.

    I usually use the word “sweet” jokingly but this poem is legitimately sweet. Very nicely done!
