The part of me that loves,
still loves maybe eternally
I do not argue with it
I argue with the part of me that wants to hold–the one that isn’t love
the one that perhaps wants possession, fears change, or both
I kindly tell it “ they are well taken care of, we can go live your lifetime somewhere else” but still it furrows its brow
And I understand this part of me is hurt and I look at it with eyes of love because that’s the only way it will heal
and I kiss this weepy girl :)
