First I Loved

When first I loved,

I listened to myself.

I heard it from

within my gut

that I should tell:

I loved. I loved!

Oh, why did I listen

to myself? Yet

how I loved!

First I loved, then

reasoned with myself,

and this I heard:

I love! I love!

Oh, why did I not

listen to myself

when I did love?

Oh, why is there

another me

inside myself?

And how she loves!
