"I want to know more about you."


The funny thing about "I want to know more about you" is that you never really know how much of the full, honest truth you're getting in response.  It seems to be a very irrelevant question when you think about it.  The reactions you should really be paying attention to are the timing of the smirks, the exact moment when the eyebrow becomes raised and the questions that are asked in response to the childhood memory or secrets you tell her.  


The next words that fall from the lips are jaded, they are strategic and mostly they are clouded with a lifetime of doubt.  Observe, remember, act on what you see.  Learn the poker face and retain the reaction to certain words, places she takes you and memoirs she decides to share.  While the stories might seem very insignificant, they are true reflections of who she is and, in turn, the soul she is looking for.

Nothing is insignificant: the smirks, giggles, eyebrow raises, each well timed touch, and every word uttered from her beautiful lips. The way she reacts when she catches you starting at her when she's not paying attention. The pace of her breath when you get close to her, and the way her fingers trace yours when you hold her hand. The way she stirs when you pull her even closer, and the way she squirms when you kiss her neck. The way she grips you and pulls you into her when you are making love, the way she moans, and the way she holds you as you fall asleep.

The soul she is looking for is her own, in another body.
