You don't have to write like Shakespeare
And you don't have to read my mind
Because by who you are and not what you do
You should be defined
You don't have to write like Kafka
Or to think like Austen
Your actions, not your words
Are what I'll get lost in
You're not Edgar Allen Poe
I'm well aware
To tell you you need to write like him
Wouldn't be fair
Shakespeare wrote:
In black in my love may still shine bright
And that is something
That you would never right
You show love
In different ways
You hold my umbrella so I don't get wet
And you make me tea on icy winter days
You don't have to write George Orwell books
We'll write our own story in 2024
Cause it's not all these authors, it's you
That I truly adore.
