Love is letting go
It makes the beloved feel free
It frees you up to be
your own person
Your own person
How can you love someone
if you don’t know who you are
separate from anyone else
Love is letting go
It is the opposite of stalking
sometimes it leads
the other to fall in love with you
Sometimes not
Love that is too intense
strays from love, it becomes
an obsession
Love is actually a balance
between reaching out and letting go
like the eagle lets go of the earth
when it soars
When people do not impose
their feelings, that is a form of letting go
When people do not violate boundaries
that is letting go, too
Love is a form of letting go
Love can focus on mind or body
but always mind, and never
only body
Love is a form of letting go
of preconceptions about the other,
coming to know their true self…
