How do I ask?
Would you spend
Your free time with me?

How do I ask?
Would you be
Willing to learn all about me?

How do I ask?
If you would allow me
To learn about you,
To share your intimate dreams
And the things you long to do?

How do I ask?
What things or actions
Would bring you the most joy?

How do I ask?
What things or actions
Would break your heart,
So that I would never
Do anything to hurt you,
Starting right from the start?

How do I ask?
How can a man truly
Please you,
So that he can allow
God to love you
Through the love he gives unto you?

How do I ask?
Of the love you desire?
For I know every individual
Has one’s own form of love
That one so desires.
How do I ask
If I can know of your desire?

I guess
The only way
Is to come out
And say
May I know of you?
May I learn of you?
May I spend some of my time
With you,
Getting to know you?
