I want the talking part as much as you want sex
My friends hate me when I say I want someone like him
I dont want him to change I just want him to choose
He might sleep with them all
But I dont want that
I rather pick his mind
And let him pick mine
Getting closer and deeper than intimacy
Just to see if we have words to share
If love is off the table
Using each other still stands
I rather one time than never been able to hold
You closer than the eye contact that hints what is on your mind
I
Want
To
Make
You
Mine
I dont want him to change I just want him to choose
He might sleep with them all

I rather pick his mind
And let him pick mine
Getting closer and deeper than intimacy
Just to see if we have words to share
If love is off the table
Using each other still stands
I rather one time than never been able to hold
You closer than the eye contact that hints what is on your mind

Re. I want the talking part as much as you want sex
You need to proofread this:
"I just want him to choose"
choose what?
"I rather pick is mind"
his
"Getting closer and deeper than intamacy"
intimacy
"Just to see if we have words to share
If love is of the table"
on the table?
"Using each other still stands"
as what? a possibility?
"I rather one time"
do WHAT one time?
"than never been able to hone"
This is unintelligible.
"You closer than the eye contact that hints whats on your mind"
what's
And why have you not used proper punctuation where it's needed? How do you think not using punctuation serves this submission to be in any way effective poetry?
Poetry is language. If you don't use language well, you will produce nothing that's worth reading, but a lot that will put well-read people right out of your composition.

Don't pay any mind to him above...write from your heart and soul...we all strive to connect on an intellectual level just as much if not more than physical...lovely offering

It's interesting how you want to "pick his mind"--
this tends to be more of a female tendency than a male.
Supposedly it's because little girls are raised by women, which are the same sex, and therefore the male sex and therefore deeply "other," foreign to females.
Whereas males overlay the mother on the understanding of the female sex, for good or ill.
The mystery of the masculine that results for the female she attempts to resolve through "picking the mind," as you write, of a male or males.
When the process occurs with minimal complications / problems in childhood, it usually leads well-adjusted women . When the father is absent / abusive, the result is "daddy issues."
This poem has both elements--the desire to understand the male better; and then the surprising turn at the end--"using each other"!!
Makes this reader want to understand more the disposition / perspective, and the associated nuances, of the speaker.
A lot here for this read to consider.
Enjoyed!

The grammar is not quite correct but I like what the poem tries to convey.
