A little bit of luck and a lot of love

They always talked about 

The right person 

The right time 

Like people don't grow 

Like time doesn't continue 

Like love isn't a decision

Like you and I were immutable and unmovable

I never liked the idea that

We would be by chance rather than choice

And I strove to

Impose some sense of control

Exert some form of agency

Over who and when

I thought I could think through it all

Like love would be 

The ultimate thought exercise

But here I am

Here we are

And I can't deny the

Unexpectedness

Craziness

The ~story~

Of it all

And even if this is something surprising

Something I

Never would have thought

Never would have foreseen

Never would have planned

I do, in fact, choose it
