Why do we want to keep each other caged? Why is it a norm for us to feel pain after a separation? The only way to love you is to set you free. No. Not physically. I set you free when the thought of you doesn't burden my heart. I set you free when I understand that what we did was an act of love coated with our human needs. I set you free when I leave out of love. I set you free when I know that by leaving, I love myself and only by loving myself can I love you. I set you free when I believe that you have freed me of you the day you first laid your eyes on me. I set you free when I understand that freeing someone is letting go of our needs that we hang on to so effortly. I set you free when you are no longer a need. I set you free so I can be free.
