In The End Our Choices Make Us

You were not just my first choice,

You were the only choice I’d ever accept

I’d say you were my only choice,

But they might think I mean

That I wanted one. Why then

Would I want anything 

But the dreams you set at my

Feet and the fire you ignited

In what constitutes as my heart?

I burn, burn burn burn with 

A flame that had never more

Than flickered before now.

Smile like I never have before

Emitting a light that pulls back

The curtain of darkness we were

Shrouded with. I breathe a breath

Of the living. I am alive,

And that is something I 

Thought I’d never be
