A Request - Creative Writing

Can I ask you a question?
To which you will reply
without sighing
or holding back.
Without that defensive tone you sometimes get.

Can you tell me the truth?
The whole truth
The simple truth
The truth as you see it
So help you God.

Can you tell me what you want?
For today and tomorrow.
In order to feel good.
About your day
About your life.
About yourself.

Can you help me to understand?
How things can be so different
And yet remain the same
All at once.

Can you tell me about yourself?
The part that you never share with anyone.
The part that is usually in the dark
The part that you try to hide
Until the sun goes down.

Can you trust me?
to love you
and to protect you
no matter what
So help me God.

Can I ask you a question?
Can we just be
together
Alone but together
Loving, living, laughing.
Just you
Just me
Together
