Resolution #1,003

I will love who loves me
I will love as much as I am loved
I will hate who hates me
I will feel nothing for everyone oblivious to me
I will stay indifferent to indifference
I will live hostile to hostility
I will make myself a passionate and eager lover
in response to a passionate and eager love

I will be nobody's fool.
******************
I am a stranger
learning to worship strangers around me

whoever you are
whoever I may become

********************

So do we finally recover side by side
what we have loved enough to keep in spite of passion or love's sorrow
