To the one I seek

I cannot write of love, 
For I know nothing of it. 
So I shall write of you 
Did you know your head tilts when you listen to me?
Or when you’re anxious to get in a game you start to jump up and down?
When you are upset your eyes turn a darker blue, 
And when you’re truly hurt they flood like dams. 
Did you know when you smile, a real genuine smile, your eyes twinkle like stars. 
You smirk like the Cheshire Cat and yet there is no malice in your glint. 
You have changed my life. 
You piss me off, hurt me, drive me insane, make me cry, and yet the worst you’ve done is steal my heart. 
I’ve already said I know nothing of love, 
This is true. 
All I know is that I would burn the world for you. 
I am nothing without you. 
Friend, foe, lover, whatever the case I am yours should you want me.
