Blink oo

I've never even been in love.

Yet I write about it like I've lived it.

If almost loving is the same

As not loving at all.

I might as well have never blinked.

For I haven't seen all of the world.

All of this universe.

So I've seen nothing.

very creative use of metaphor....

Although the first line is a tough sell, and I will explain why..

   Beacuse anyone who can so articulately write of love and loss clearly has loved, and lost and I would chance a guess that you have done both.  Your use of metaphor is spot on, like always..and really can take someone back that station in life of NOT knowing, by the use of it. Excellent

I've just never been sure.

I've just never been sure. And i think that if you're not sure. Than you're not in love. Sure I've loved. And liked deeply. But i feel like there's more compared to feelings I've felt. Much more love and much more pain.  And i can't wait to feel it. I often feel that I don't care. And expect the worst.  But in reality I probably care too much. But just know how to act as if I don't.

Great write.

I really like,

"For I haven't seen all of the world.

All of this universe.

So I've seen nothing."

Really speaks volumes to me.  I was told with a closed mind, one cannot learn anything and sees nothing.

Thank you for posting.

In my very short poem

In my very short poem "Oblivious" I said something similar. I feel like nothing can ever be known. Nothing is certain.
