People wonder how I can let go of someone I love so much, with such ease.
Well, I helped repair his wings so why wouldn't I want him to fly?
Josian de Aqua May 2016
You write about offering a simple and pure form of yourself. It was meant to be like that. We weren’t ready for each other before now. There is no coincidence in the fact that we met right when I was re-building my life and you are at your best inner-self but yet we both started down a similar spiritual path. That glowing simplicity shines through so clearly and I treasure it. What you are and have to offer from within is worth more than any material item. So many people in this world hide behind their things. Deriving self-value from it, but you really don’t have that option and in a strange way, I am grateful for it. In that I have the opportunity to get to know you in this form, before you go out into the world and feel its many pressures. All of your past mistakes are beautiful because they are a part of who you have become. I love your cracked pieces just as much as any pristine ones, if not more.  Sometimes I fear that you will take stock of all my complexities and realize that you just cannot. It’s a bit hypocritical isn’t it? To accept you as you are, but not expect you to do so in return. You are seeing me as I am rising from the ashes to become a higher form of myself. My vulnerable spots are not hidden away by armor or skin calloused from battle. We are both in a place where hiding just doesn’t seem like an option.  Just are who we are. I do want you to know, that even if you were not getting out soon, I would still stick with you. You’re beyond worth it.

Once in a while I miss you
Just now and then
When the planets are in funny positions
So goes my common sense
Late at night when no one else is around
You are on my mind
I ponder all of the good times that we had

But then,
The Universe steps in and reminds me
Reminds me of the nights spent crying behind the bathroom door
Or the shreds of my artwork spread out on the floor as you slept it off near by
About all of the times you told me that  I was stupid
When you hit me then told me it was my fault

It is funny how time and our minds play tricks on us so that we almost forget all of the bad things.
Just a banter...

Some things never change
You never have
Even after I'm long gone
You're still crying about how the next girl never understands
How the next one can't seem to appreciate that you're her man
Well excuse me while roll my eyes
Excuse me while I laugh at how you're never satisfied
Delusions, illusions, confusion
Whining that your kingdom made of sand melts whenever the tide comes in
That costume crown you wear must make you blind
I guess you didn't learn last time
Blindly demanding respect that you didn't earn
****, some little boys just never learn

Now if you ever read this you would say that I'm just bitter
But in all honesty, I feel like a winner.

Do you ever reach out in the stillness of a Southern California night?
As the tide pulls away from the shore, do you ever wonder if this all turned out right?
Hidden behind steel doors and paper, you once told me that you don't believe in regrets
Perhaps it's just easy for you to forget
I can see the glow of Mother Moon on the waves in your eyes
The parts of you that could never lie
Even in the moment when you made promises with unspoken exceptions
Glass between us, not able to look you in the eye when I realized that we were each other's reflection

In the air that rushes against your face
Amongst the earth beneath your feet
Immersed in the water that you become weightless in,
Hidden in the fire that you find within
Is where I will be found
There is no end for us in sight
This much is clear
It's elemental, my dear

The only secret from you that I ever kept
You are the colors of the galaxy on the back of my neck
Forever asking if you can hear the story of us again and again
Never having to fearfully wait for this all to end
For the bright fiery masses to fall from the sky
As they are enclosed safely behind our eyes
Most people are afraid to let go
But there is a secret that they don't know
Love is infinite, forever on-going
This is why I let you fly
Because I know that when it comes to you there is no such thing as good-bye

We fall for the ones who never seem to love us in return
But they need the medicine that we ooze
The broken-winged birds linger above as we try to find our own way
Waiting to be mended with our heart power
We are the healers

You are my true love
No matter what path you take
No matter who you lay next to at night
No matter who you have children with
No matter who you watch walking down the aisle dressed in white
I will love you the same

Without conditions
More than the stars in our vast Universe
Unfathomably so

True love is not about being the only partner they ever have
It is not about labels of romantic or platonic
It is not devoting your whole life to someone no matter how they treat you
True love is between two souls who want nothing but the best for the other and loving one another so much that they allow each other to fly
No matter what direction the wind takes them
Even if it is away
Yet still loving them the same

True love is not abusive
It is not vindictive
It is not jealous
It is not holding on with white knuckles because you're scared that you'll lose them
There is no need to hold on because true love is an indestructible thread that binds us together far past the sight of man

So I will find the comfort of others arms
And follow my own path with great joy
But never love you any less then I do now

Souls never forget

This is how I love you, truly
Dedicated to Brett.
