I realized something quite profound today.
My guilty feelings over
not doing enough,
recognizing things, or
knowing (things that I could not have known)
are misplaced.
It was never my path
to save you
My path was to
learn openness and trust
that I could,
that I deserved to
LOVE and be loved
by a man
in a way that
I had never been
loved before:
honestly,
unconditionally,
with laughter,
sometimes tears,
during great times
and hard times,
with open communication
both challenging the other
to grow past their comfort zones
into better versions of themselves,
both learning to love
in the truest sense because we
valued each other more than ourselves.
By breaking down my barriers to LOVE,
my Love left the most important lesson for last:
Love endures, even past death.
My path was not to save,
the lesson was to learn to LOVE and be loved.
