We may be
But you didn't know I was planning a move
Part of my reason of being there
Somewhere between floating down country roads
And making noises at horse and chickens
And saying goodbye
I knew I would move soon
It wasn't even your last glance at me
But it did sweeten the pot
I knew Belgium was it, like Quebec
Marginal roads and country folk
Old buildings and roads that speak
Where souls are more bare, and exist
I will find that place, that space
And yes, far enough away, as it should
To live a life unhurried, unburdened
Free like two flowers inside a loop of string
Connected, yet free to move
The bow present, for either to untie
For what is Love
Without freedom and freedom to choose
I choose you to take u all of my time
I choose you because you're funny and kind
