“I am not the one who loves —
It's love that chooses me.
When hatred with his package comes,
You forbid delivery.”

"You Have Loved Enough"
Ten New Songs (2001)
Context: I swept the marble chambers,
But you sent me down below.
You kept me from believing
Until you let me know:
That I am not the one who loves —
It's love that chooses me.
When hatred with his package comes,
You forbid delivery.
