In English we say:
I love you
In poetry we say:
My heart chose yours

the arms of a father
to a young daughter.
tick
tock
tick
tock
the arms of a grandfather
to a new father.
tick

tick
tock
the arms of a father
swing the same as
his fathers.
oh grandfather,
oh daughter.
tick
tock
tick
tock

stop! I said to
this clanging mind
go! I said to my
hedonist heart
neither of the
  two deserves
my body.

{friends are like roses
some of them, pretty petals)
(others are the thorns
