"That's not you.
You always said
You'd lose it to
Your spouse instead.
"That's not you.
I'm so surprised.
Changing your view
Seems ill-advised.
"That's not you."
That judgy voice.
"I'm worried, too.
But it's your choice."
"But this is me!" I want to scream.
More me than I've ever shown.
"But this is love!" is what I mean.
More love than I've ever known.

"That's not you.
You always said
You'd lose it to
Your spouse instead.
"That's not you.
I'm so surprised.
Changing your view
Seems ill-advised.
"That's not you."
That judgy voice.
"I'm worried, too.
But it's your choice."
"But this is me!" I want to scream.
More me than I've ever shown.
"But this is love!" is what I mean.
More love than I've ever known.
