before time
I did not choose to
love you
no more than I chose
to be born
and of course once
we are born
we do not choose to
die
there is no matter
of choice
only a certain
inevitability
we are who we are,
where we are
on the whole life
happens to us
if we are wise
we learn to swim
with the current
so no, I did not
choose to love you
your occupation of
my heart and mind
my delight in your
body
my overwhelming need
to be in your company
these are my destiny
written in the stars
before time
