how do I know

How do I know
what is beauty
for I have never
looked at anyone
except your face

how do I know
what is darkness
I have had glimpse
of your radiance
hence i see nothing

how do I know
what is called light
for i dream and
long for you long
terse to give shade

how do I know
what is hatred
as there is not
enough time
to hate anyone

how do I know
what is called love
for I have no one
except you that
I have ever known

how do I know
how, where you are
for I have met you
only once before
and i seek ever since
