A response again to curtaindad

This point of yours I do concede, and let me tell you why

Had I never met you, I wouldn't be here now

I wouldn't be a poem born of dawn and dusk and flame

A monotony was broken the day I changed my name

And now I know because of you I'll never be the same

But consider this, before I go--

How did it come to pass that you and I became so close?

Is it not you or I who made it so?

Did we not fill out an application

Enter the same class

Be matched by personality for dorm rooms

And learn to love and trust so fast?

My point, my love, is not to disagree--

Only to trace back several years deeper

To the places we both used to be.

And tell me,

Where do you think we'd be

If you hadn't chosen you, and I hadn't chosen me?
