I wasn’t looking for perfection

I didn’t choose you for your eloquence  or beauty

I didn’t choose you at all, I had no say.

The Moon ached and stars aligned

the day your soul found mine

All I ask is that you think of me first,

that when the time comes you consider my heart.

I want to be your Rosalind

to be the only girl in the wide world that could have held you
