"You want into my mind,

And I want into yours.

Shall we make a trade?"

I laughed at what I said,

And stared into the eyes of Slade

A smile spreads across his face,

But it doesn't reach his eyes

I can tell he's wearing a mask

It's no longer a surprise

If I had known what he was hiding

If I had truly read his mind

Would I have been at all frightened

At the things I'd surely find?

I think I would still love him

These feelings run too deep

They're in my heart, in my blood

And if he gazed into my mind

That would be what he would find

I smile sadly and think about that time

When we wished we were mind readers
