The secrets you have yet to share
are the ones I am most interested in.
Whatever aspects you have kept from me
are the depths I hope to plumb.

I’ll keep digging through your history
in the hopes of further gold flecks
that will make you shine even brighter
in my eyes.
Only by knowing the unknowable
will I reach the glory of experiencing
all of you.

Once I learn everything
you have to share, though,
I hope you’re fully prepared
to make more mysteries
hiding them in your past
so that when I dig into the dirt
we don’t end up
as stick-in-the-muds.
