If you’re looking for a soulmate
You’ll find the game is checkmate
Someone’s taken yours
You’ve taken theirs
Now all that’s left is fate
But if you’re looking for a lover
The choice is one or another
For love is a decision
Not a feeling or a fever
Not a dream or a vision
Not what
she does to you
but what
you do for her
Not what she’s got
if she was hot
and now she’s not
Love is
what you decide
why truth is tried
where you reside
when you stay by her side
Love abides
I don’t think love’s always a choice, but choosing to share your life with someone is. Nice!

Thanks! If we think love is a verb (rather than a state of being), we can choose when to be loving–which I think is what you mean. 😀
