Do you love me? Those four words were once so hard to say with sanity. As if my mother tongue forbade me to know how it meant once. I have sat all day in the empty spaces of us; trying to find an answer without verbalizing it So I slept on it; I waited on it; I walked on it; I dreamed about it; I accepted it; And I meant it And I realized; why should I ask him? Because if he loves me he would tell me. Maybe he is not the type of guy who wander around and saying I love you—a shy one, perhaps—my mind stops thinking. Or He simply does—not love me? He stared at me in a long pause and kissed me at 2 a. m ‘Do you like me?’ I asked He stopped and bit my lip; he was not quite there yet Loud and clear, I have found my answer in his silence *It's not even a hard question god **** it!*

Do You Love Me?
Sometimes you have to leave the one you love to find yourself through other people Like letting go of a dove in order to stop looking at the mirror through a peephole

Chapter 23- The Dove
I love you so much but I'm not going to change for you sweety I'm changing for myself I'm changing at my own pace And for what I believe Will be in the greatest interest of all who I interact with too. Darling, hush and evaluate yourself I allow you to respond to my changing If you cannot be patient you may leave It's alright. If you cannot believe It's alright, its alright Your loving me doesn't mean you have to stay Your loving me doesn't mean you have to go Your loving me. Means you love yourself first If you have to stay / If you have to go To love Yourself first Then do so. But, I have decided to take my personal journey more seriously.

Above the mountains the geese turn into the light again Painting their black silhouettes on an open sky. Sometimes everything has to be inscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that first, bright and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. Sometimes with the bones of the black sticks left when the fire has gone out someone has written something new in the ashes of your life. You are not leaving. Even as the light fades quickly now, you are arriving.

'The Journey' / A poem by David Whyte
I wait in a line that seems endless I look ahead only to see that the others are doing the same The ground beneath my feet is marble, white with a blue shimmer, Above me resembles that of a wood celling in a log cabin, Behind me I meet the eyes of another waiter, He quickly stands straight only to reveal another pair of eyes behind him, There is a sound un recognizable in the distance and the line moves, Though only a step, a sigh of relief, for there is much distance to travel, The light comes and goes, with no observable source of light, Looking right I see another step out of line, Standing taller then the rest he heads my direction, I ask as he passes "what do you see ahead of this line?" He stares blankly then looks over the heads, "Do you want the truth?" he asks, I nod noticing that my personal space has grown smaller, He points forwards then backwards and says, "That is where you are going, and that is where you've been," "So at some point you'll reach where you're going?" My space bubble expands with a hushed whimper, It comes to mind that I should ask him one more question, "Where are you headed then?" He smiles, his teeth almost all gone, "Why wait to know what I already can see" "I plan to skip this line and find a new one on my own" He waves as we part his tall figure an outline in the distance, The line moves though I find myself still standing, I am tapped on the shoulder and hear "May i skip you?" I step aside no longer compliant with staying in line.

Skip me
I wait in a line that seems endless I look ahead only to see that the others are doing the same The ground beneath my feet is marble, white with a blue shimmer, Above me resembles that of a wood celling in a log cabin, Behind me I meet the eyes of another waiter, He quickly stands straight only to reveal another pair of eyes behind him, There is a sound un recognizable in the distance and the line moves, Though only a step, a sigh of relief, for there is much distance to travel, The light comes and goes, with no observable source of light, Looking right I see another step out of line, Standing taller then the rest he heads my direction, I ask as he passes "what do you see ahead of this line?" He stares blankly then looks over the heads, "Do you want the truth?" he asks, I nod noticing that my personal space has grown smaller, He points forwards then backwards and says, "That is where you are going, and that is where you've been," "So at some point you'll reach where you're going?"
