I don’t know, but I know

I don’t know your name

But my heart fluttered when you told me the unbelievably gentle nickname of yours

I don’t know your job

But I understood well enough how much you hate the superficialities and futilities of life

I don't know where you live

But I'm so very flattered that you once were willing to let me into your space

I don't know how you fuck

But I sensed that you would light up my body just like how you lit up my mind with soft words and a hard kiss

I don't know who you used to love

But I shared your heartbreaks and nostalgia because I love just like you do

I don't know where you'd be

But I'm fine just waiting around the corner for your sweet smile to brighten the mundane

I don't know what you think

I don't know how you feel

I don't know what you'd say

But I actually know

I know your frustrations

I know your sentimentality

I know your hesitations

I know your weariness

I know when your heart beats for more

I know when your eyes are silenced by tears

I know everything you're afraid of others to know

Or the things you think I wouldn't know

Because I know you like I know me too

「I don’t know, but I know」
