Write what you know.
But I do not know love.
How do I know that?
If I don't know it.
Well,
I do not know your eyes.
I do not know the sound of your sighs.
I do not know your thoughts.
I do not know what you think of in the morning
Or your favorite task-
Though I could just ask-
You're right at my fingertips.
A message away. Always.

I do not know your life.
[Though I would like to, courage is hard to come by
these days who am I to ask you such a thing.]
I do not know the glint your eyes get when an idea
I do not know comes to mind, mischievous and clever.

I do not know any of this so,
How could I possibly know love?
I tried my hand at a love poem. It's supposed to be read like there's a pause after every punctuation, if that helps.
