Genetics

You know how some things
are determined at birth?
Like the ways your ears look?
or your skin tone?
or your hair color?
What if when I was born
It was determined that
I was going to fall for you?
What if when I came
kicking and screaming into this world
it was prophesied
that after first staring into your eyes
I would spend the rest of my days
having to feel you exist
so far away from me
like a phantom limb on my soul.
