When you realize the value of loss and love
It changes you
It’s not something learned
It’s something that is carved into you
It makes you love without taking things for granted
You love more conscious than most people ever achieve
You experience sadness and the joy living in the now
Knowing separation is inevitable, even if temporary
The difference with me, I’m built to see and guide
To recognize in presence, depth, invitation.
I don’t broadcast, I receive and reflect back
Departure is coded in you, not a projector
The fear is real, not defining of happiness though
An open solar plexus sleeping with an emotional authority
It’s full recalibration of my energy field each time he leaves
And each time he returns
Never will I hold him back
But be completely in awe, respect and happiness
Of his success as his talents deserve
The shadow side of me
Worries he will leave
He will find someone new
He will lose interest
But I —
The proud, spiritual woman
Who loves him
Who is proud of him
Knows this to not be true
And if it is
I am smart enough to love him….
And let him go.
