Your World is not my World

In your world
you just did
you might have feared
I'm sure you were terrified many times
but still you just did
there was nothing else to do but just do

in my world
you could choose
to do or not to do
that was the annoyingly constant question
freedom to choose
is no freedom at all
when you just want the choice to disappear
and leave you just with one thing
to do

Then your world changed
slowly, deathly
you had choice
and you made choices
and things happened
I happened
and your choices brought new things
to have to do
restricting choice
though not completely

in my world
endless choice
so much that I have to restrict it
try to make it no choice at all
but it doesn't work
even binary provokes uncertainty

your world is not my world
I wouldn't have had yours for the whole world
but I wish I could have had your absence of choice
just in better situations

and oh I do miss you
miss you both
