Write what you know

I've recently been inspired by a Stars song. The vocals whisper "Write what you know, keep the story funny, have a happy ending, make the female sexy, sing it for the people, hope they sing along."

I began writing down the things I know. As we celebrated our first anniversary, and we're buying a house and making plans, my thoughts have been mostly on my boyfriend these days. Here's what I've come up with. There may be more to it coming, but this is what I know right now.

I know I love you. 

I know I knew it immediately. 

It invaded me fever fast and began dividing 

before you introduced yourself. 

I know I love you;

it is comfortable and easy like we're old

and yet this love has heat,

wonder and surprise.

I know I love you and am often afraid

of the depth and breadth.

While you sleep I wonder
how I came to be so fortunate.

I may never know how or why, only that it is there.
