relationships
if you can’t help
but love with raw vulnerability,
just let it be a beautiful way about you,
some things are going to hurt like a force,
but the beautiful things will be magic.

you said,
tell me where you’ve been, love
and i thought of all the lost roads,
and dark corners,
and heavy work, and heartbreak,
and of all the healing
and i just said…
on my way here

her,
because she
makes life poetry,
she turns every bit
of it into art

you say it aches,
how much you miss her…
but did you love her with an ache when you had her?
you had every bit of her full attention,
but where was yours?
she broke her heart open for you
again and again… and you just. kept. closing yours.
and so you lost her. and now you learn…
you learn that holding has to have wanting,
and appreciating, and valuing. you learn that love
isn’t static. it’s kinetic, it’s movement,
it’s growth and curiosity. you learn that there has there has to be more wanting in the holding
to be just as much
than there is in missing, or in reaching for.
you learn that you have to ache for people when it matters…
you have to love someone when you have them.

she’s not here just to be
a supporting character in your story…
she has her own entire story
to live too.
