The Rules for Lovers - Richard Walters

Hello, goodbye

So long, goodnight

The sound, the size

Of truth, of lies

A kick, a word

Unsaid, unheard

Who decides the rules for lovers like you and I?

We choose each other and we find no other lover

With, without

We trust, we doubt

To find, to lose

We hurt, we bruise

The hand, the heart

An end, a start

Who decides the rules for lovers like you and I?

We choose each other and we find no other lover

A sky, a night

The black, the white

A push, a pull

The prince, the fool

The harsh, the kind

A day, a life

Who decides the rules for lovers like you and I?

We choose each other and we find no other lover
