Can make the heart, once again swoon.

Like wisps into tomorrow
I melt with you

You are the purple hues
In my sunsets, the warm and heavy
Sighs, I feel, that make my knees
Shiver; that pushes two weary
Footfalls past noon
That conjures courage
To make love once again swoon

It is true
I see nothing more of confusion and riddles
I see nothing more of the space
That separated us
The space we once intimately knew

I am drifting toward the
Unfamiliar, I am moving
Closer to you

My heart stops a bit
My breath is sometimes labored
I am frightened, I am exhilarated
I’m not ready

And, you smile because
Somehow, you already knew

You let me run ahead, far out of sight
You allow me to fly far and wide, freely
You let me live independently
For you know deep down inside
The only way to truly love another
Is to first let them go and trust that if it’s meant to be,

True love will always return to you, wholeheartedly.

Love this: “Is to first let them go and trust that if it’s meant to be,

True love will always return to you, wholeheartedly.”

Beautiful words!

Very well written

This gives me chills. It makes me think about my relationship and the fact that both of us are so independent but, he respects that.
LP Jardine on Sep 16, 2008
Very moving.

Beautiful!

I wanted to add a comment here because I continued to get a bad securtiy string message while trying to post on your fear article. I very much enjoyed it. There was a lot of great info there. My biggest fear is dying before my daughter does. I am not sure that I will ever get over that fear and also fear that it will only grow greater with time. I will try my best to focus on some of the points in your article, though. Thanks
