I choose you
amidst a million sunsets
stars
worlds
lifetimes
I choose you
‘cause you are the one
and we fit in so well
when we spoon in bed
and you scratch my back

Author Notes
Spooning=something we say in America, when we lie in bed together front to back, like the spoons in the drawer. No double meaning.
To have my back scratched is one of my favorite things.
Gogyohka is a five-line free-style Japanese poetic form with no strict rules on syllable count but as brief as possible. Any theme. Lines are grammatically connected. Alliteration, personification, and metaphor are okay but never rhyme. Japanese poets have written gogyohka since the 1910s. However, they did not name the form until 1983 by poet Enta Kusakabe. === source = writers digest ===source=wikipedia
Thank you for taking the time to read and review my poem.
