The one

 

Blessed indeed are pairs,

Who find and live their love.

But love is a tale of solemn defiance,

You choose from “one of the above”.

 

Tonight I choose you,

Over everyone else,

Irrespective of their standing or claim,

Be that in thought or in flesh.

 

When I take you over, 

Your own wishes matter little, 

All the adventures here and there, 

Matter no more, in a life so brittle.
