Often when I encounter you
It seems to me that I was born
For one reason – to love you
So many twists and turns
Have occurred between us two
Even then love continues
You talk to me, for this reason.
This is why I talk to you.
Withdrawn though as we are
Into shells of hurt, we two.
I was born,
for one reason –
To love you
As I detect the universe
in my heart, in its dust
I find you
I was born,
for one reason –
To love you
I speak my mind and my heart
In a poem I don’t send to you
So you’re not inconvenienced
By a tug that pulls at you
I was born,
for one reason –
To love you.
