You Chose To Poem by Rose Kanana

You Chose To

Rating: 5.0


You chose to hold my hand and walk with me
Not because i was a perfect human being
Not because i had the perfect body shape
Not because i wore make up
Not because i cruised in a ship
But because you understood humanity

You chose to check on me everyday
Not because you had no one else to check on
Not because your communication budget was large
Not because i was the best to communicate to and with
Not because it was an obligation
But because you understood communication builds bridges

You chose to tell me that you cherished our friendship
Not because you had no friends before we met
Not because my company was the most important
Not because your friends were busy with other friends
Not because friendship is a necessity to the world
But because of the value you placed on our friendship

You chose to tell me that you loved me
Not because you had never loved before
Not because you had no one else to love you back
Not because love is a command from God
Not because i was the most lovable person in the world
But because you believed in loving me as a human being.
