I asked the Goddess can he be mine?
She sighed but did not answer.
I asked again can I be his?
She rolled her eyes and raised her head.
She knew my pain, she knew my reasons.
She shook her head and answered NO!
I cried to her and begged to know why?
She lowered her head and began to sigh.
The pain he will bring you isn't worth it my dear.
She raised her finger to catch my tear.
She whispered some words, she kissed her hand.
And out of my tear she formed a man.
"This ones for you" she said to me.
"Now go with him and let the past be".
We lived our life in pleasure and pain.
But in the end we both did gain.
For had I not listened and gone with the first.
My life would have hid my growing thirst.
But with the second completely we loved,
our lives no longer a drift.
And in the end I gave thanks to the Goddess for her never-ending gift.
