I love you isn’t A fleeting memory of a camping trip. It isn’t a strings attached contract that is signed out of intimidation or guilt. It doesn’t last ‘until…’ You disappoint me. You abandon me. I find something better. nor does it lay within the depths of ‘only ifs’ : {only if you love me - only if you see me for who I am - only if you bake me an apple pie} I love you is Being able to love myself and vulnerably feel safe with who I am- in your eyes It means you are free to be you, to choose freely for yourself and bring forth any awakening, lesson or consequence with no judgment or close-minded examination. It shakes loose of any stern expectation or obligation made for you because there is no need for you to size up to any other standard that isn’t You. I love you means you are and always are enough. It defines no separation between us; yet at the same time – I can celebrate my love for you without the presence of your face, voice or perfumed scent – you are always with me. I love you is My full acceptance for the beautiful, strong & powerful Being that you are – In each bold and thick fiber. It is the act of fulfilling my inner-self with such gratification and wholeness Because it feels so utterly good to love you.

I Love You
