Poems.

You can't.

You can't love a writer.
You can't love an aspiring writer either.
We, as writers, have this definition of what love feels like, readers know the feeling too.
And if a writer- an aspiring writer, is what you're falling for, run.
They won't say those three deafening words that shape our modern society.
We don't throw them around.
As writers, we know what love used to be.
We know by time period pieces, articles for informational pieces, books, books, and most importantly more books.
We read and read. And we feel love for the characters.
But not for the real people in our lives.
You can try and try to make them love you, they can read about it, and write about it brilliantly, but you can't make them feel it. Not with intensity.
You can't love a writer.
It's unthinkable.
"You can't tell someone they love you."
