True love means letting go,
A gentle dance, moving slow.
I let you fly and be free,
In letting go, My love stays with me.

Relationships grow when both are free,
Two hearts together, in harmony.
Forcing or pushing never works,
Love that’s true, no one can break.

True love accepts change that comes,
Welcoming the shifts life gives.
It takes courage to step aside,
To let you grow and not just pride.

Forgiveness mends wounds of the past,
Healing hearts so love can last.
Releasing pain and old regrets,
True love stays, never forgets.

Even if I fade away,
My heart remembers, come what may.
Beyond the body, beyond the space,
My love remains as a warm embrace.

Letting go, I hold you close,
In my soul, love still shows.
Not tied by chains or worldly things,
A bond that’s pure, with no strings.

I wish you joy, I wish you peace,
In letting go, my love won’t cease.
My feelings are mine to take care of,
A love that’s true, that’s pure, and above.

My love gave hope for a reason to stay,
In letting go, I set you free today.
Not to shake the boat we sailed,
But to see our hearts prevail.

So here I stand with open arms,
In letting go, I mean no harm.
True love isn’t a chain to bind,
But a freedom for both to find.

Us
I have shed enough tears

For the both of us

While you said goodbye

To just one of us
They didn’t say goodbye to me,
They never saw the pleading in my eyes.
They left… they left…
And left me cradling silence, my dear.

They walked away to distant lands,
And I was left, a soul unmanned.

My love was still so young,
It hadn't bloomed or sung.
It never had its chance to breathe,
To kiss, to laugh, or to believe.

Yet they’re the ones who frown and cry,
Though I’m the one left wondering why.

How lucky are the envious and they slept,
While we, the broken-hearted, wept.
They slept in peace the night they tore us apart,
While my tears baptized my hollow heart.

No matter how the days may stretch or bend,
Their image in my mind won’t end.
They remain, more precious than the precious,
A weight more aching than the relentless.

Love sold me out,
And the cheap ones bought me.

I became every person I was warned not to be. It was beautiful until the very end

We are not our choices but we are are most definitely our consequences.

I'm thankful for so much because now I know I can
I used to wonder with envy for others imagining who I would become when I finally encountered love

It was even better than I dreamt it to be.
I was blessed beyond measure.

But even forever is finite in the face of this life.
The void is proof I was there for every moment, every whisper, every giggle and every smile.

We live with regrets but this time I have none. I will be happy again when fault is not at the forefront of my mind.

I wish we had more time, now I really do sound like everyone else.

I'm glad it was you, even if it was for a while.
Farewell my muse, we had a hell of a ride.

If we meet again
and I think we will
maybe in another lifetime
you won’t remember
what you did to me.
Not the breaking,
not the silence,
not the way I begged with eyes you never understood.

And still,
I’ll try find you.

I’ll walk through the lives I’m given
searching for the shape of your hands,
the way your voice hesitates before lying.
I’ll know it,
even in another language.


Some loves aren’t meant to be safe
just permanent.
Etched into the soul
like a name we forget
but still flinch at when it’s spoken.

But if I catch a glimpse of you
on a crowded street
or in the eyes of a stranger
I’ll stop.
I’ll look.
And I’ll let my heart break
all over again.

Because loving you
was never a choice.
It was a sentence
I accepted
lifetimes ago.

I’ll look for you
Even in places
I know you aren’t.

Because love like this,
doesn't just die
even when we do.
