She and He, He and She

So many things are hard to explain: a sense of familiarity, though we've never met.

We admit we are meant for each other, yet we torment one another.

We admit we are meant for each other, and let things take their course, demanding nothing from life.

Fate, fate: is that what people seek?

I ask only for a peaceful life, not a lifetime of turmoil.

Everyone says, love who you love and seek what you seek. What's wrong with that?

Nothing is wrong with it. It's simply selfish.
