reveal myself.

I know how you like your coffee,

just a little skimmed milk

no sugar

I can recall each family member

each examination grade

and I could tell you how many

freckles you have on your nose

without looking

I know your top 10 favourite books

and every bad that you've seen live

and I could tell you the story of each scar

or what you ate for dinner

three Thursdays ago

it just saddens me that

no matter how many wishes wasted

no matter what hints I make

no matter how hard I try

you do not know

any of these things

about

me.
