My Anna pt 2 (Poem)

 There was no red string that tied us together
In our past life, we did not know each other
There was no secret mark on our skin that made us fate 
There are no words written on my wrist telling me who you are
There are no past-life scars that bring us together 
There are no freckles pressed to my forehead where you once kissed
There is no vein of my heart connected to yours
I chose this! 
We did not happen by accident
I saw you and chose to love you
I chose to get you honey walnut shrimp every time I go to Panda Express
I chose to remember your favorite colors are blue and green 
And not just because we have an inside joke about it
And you can’t go to sleep when you're sick without a cup of peppermint tea 
And one episode of NCIS
I chose to get you strawberry melon revitalize every time we go to Beaten Path
I chose this
I chose to rub icy-hot on your back just so you could be a tad bit more comfortable 
Even though I hate the smell 
I chose to rub the knots out and smooth out the parts of you
The parts you thought you needed to hide
I listened to you while you talk 
It could be about the workload you carry 
Or the load you forgot to put in the laundry
Or it could be heavier, the load you picked up when you were 12 and never set back down
I chose to love you 
I chose to bleed myself dry for you 
I chose to love until I had no choice but to be loved back
And you do
You chose to love me too

P.S. I know you know, but I love you.
