I Live Not By Choice Poem by Tina Baaklini

My love,

I live not by choice
But I love by choice
I choose not to breathe
But I choose to live in peace

Life is a journey of no rest
We live subsequent sunrises and sunsets
We meet, we greet. We say hi, we say goodbye
And in the end, we return alone to the sky

I thought that fate put you on my path
But now I understand the equation of the maths
You love my heart, my soul, my essence
Thus you came and made such a difference

Only you turned my heart to paradise
Only you chased away dark clouds from my skies
It's love, only love, that brought you back to me
And this time we'll stay together endlessly
