To be loved or To love Must we choose? I am the beloved Yet I see myself from only within looking out And believe I    am just the lover Unchoosing to be both In spite of, and thanks to my experience I believe in the moments where we are both the beloved Those moments fade Into cool memories Cozy in my mind Until they become stinging cold Like when my bare foot crunches down into the thin layer of snow halfway the drive to get the mail Oh how it feels to be the lover Oh how it feels to be the loved The lover finds ecstasy in their beloved Why then must the lover expect anything from the beloved? Is the gift not in the experience of loving? What is it to be desired If you do not know desire yourself? Will we be ever be satisfied? I surely hope not.
