Ask Me

I want you to ask.
What's my favorite color?
What's my favorite food?
Who is my favorite artist?
 
I want you to ask me why.
Why do I love this painting?
Why do I listen to this song?
Why are you my favorite color?

Please, examine me.
Learn me.
Feel me.
Ask me.
 
I want my being to be
completely mapped out and
rewritten over  
and over
 
As you memorize the answers,
only to ask me again,  
just in case they have  
changed.
 
All of this because
I simply want to be loved
and known
in the ways that I love
and know
you.
