Analysis of Choosing Love
Christen Kuikoua 2007 (United States)
I love you, yes, it's true,
Not because I have to,
But because hating takes too much,
And love is what I choose as such.
It's like a warm hug, so nice,
Makes our hearts feel light as ice.
No frowns or anger, just a smile,
Loving each other, mile by mile.
So let's be kind, let's be friends,
Love is what truly mends.
No need for hate, no need for fuss,
Just love, for all of us.

About this poem
I choose to love and love again, not because I am in love with you, but simply because it takes too much energy for me to hate you.
