Inspired from listening to Starset's Die For You (Acoustic version) for the first time.
"I would die for you"
We say, as if dying was difficult.
"I would die for you"
Is a thing we hear often, in love songs,
"I would die for you"
As if it was such a romantic notion.
But
Nothing in life is more difficult than to live,
To struggle,
To fight.
Don't we all wonder if only we could choose who to fall in love with?
If only we could choose the person to spend the rest of our life with, as if love could solve everything,
As if nothing else matters.
I would live for you,
And I would choose you, every second, of every day, of every lifetime.
I would live for you,
Because this is something I can control.
Because this action, is my choice, is something that I can do.
Because I can choose to show how much I care.
Because I have a choice.
If only life were so simple that you could choose who you fall in love with.
Isn't it beautiful having the freedom to choose?
And I find myself here at the edge, looking down
When I realize that I never chose to love you.
I never chose you, but my heart did, without me even knowing.
And so, I will live for you, I will shoulder the weight of the world with you, because even if I can't lift it, even if I'm not strong enough, I can still be here with you.
Isn't it beautiful having the freedom to choose?
