I would be sorry if anything happened to you

it being so rare for two persons to find themselves

in each other


I know you feel the same way

it being so common to project a self-reflection

onto your other


we would be sad if anything happened to us

the tricky negotiations of self and other

assured as chaos


may all our outcomes benefit the love that binds us

the love that is bigger than both of us and could just as easily

tear us apart


as keep us to together for what appointed fates the One

will not spare us...
