You are a blessing



To worship is to obsess,
To obsess is to possess,
To possess is to oppress,
I didn’t love you…
I was under the delusion that I was entitled
to you!
I’m so fkning THANKFUL that I stopped being a coward, long enough,
to learn how to love you.
Without condition.
No ideals,
No projections,
No restrictions,
No compromise.
As I watched you walk out that door,
unapologetic,
unafraid,
The epitome of a woman leading by example.
Words could not express the joy I felt coursing through my veins!
For:
You are not my angel!
You are not my princess!
You are not my goddess!
You are a human being who chose to love & appreciate me, without a single condition!
For the first time;
I arise EVERY morning grateful for your friendship.
