I asked a languished friend, <br />“Why did you never marry? ” <br />His pupils seemed to transcend <br />As he thought on the contrary <br /> <br />“I didn’t wish to be settled <br />One woman, all my life’s days <br />Like the wind, I was unsettled <br />I was just born that way. <br /> <br />I didn’t want to give up me <br />Let my desires be vaguely haunted <br />Freedom, freedom, freedom.. <br />Was all I ever wanted.” <br /> <br />I said, “You’re way different from me! ” <br />As if he’d given me a shove <br />“For all I’ve ever wanted, <br />Was only to be loved.”<br /><br />Whitney Albright<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-be-loved-11/
