Love's Question Sestina

L. Galatea
If you or I were to love, then what

Would we to do for each other and why

Should we plan our lives for how

Will we decide, for you are who

And I care not for you are where

I am home, and now is the only time when!

I fell for you before this moment when

We were simply friends for what

Mattered most was knowing where

You and I could talk and why.

We could not escape the people who

Barred our lives without knowing how

To love the way that we two, how

Ever needful, waited for times when

The two of us would ask ourselves who

Would be enough for lifelong dreams, what

Kind of future we would need and why.

We thought each other were the one where-

Fore I seek you everywhere.

In every moment seeing as how

You answer every question for why

I am here on this earth, and I dream you when-

Ever I sleep, for you alone are what

I am. For I am you and you are me for who

Can exist without the other, who

Opens themselves entirely for where

Is my heart if it is not with you? What

Is a dream if it is not of you? How

Can I breathe if it is not for you? When

Is a moment if it is not for you? Why

Should I breathe just one more breath? Why

Do I fail to get close enough? And who

Will keep us apart now that we know when

Being apart will finally be over? Where

Is my heart? It is surely with you! How

I do love you! You are forever mine. What

Joy, increasing, why I have it in my heart! When

I see you near, you who are my love, I think of how

To get you ever closer, to show the world what's what.
