You’ll never understand
How I feel on a daily basis
The thoughts circling through my head
The fears and hopes and dreams I have
•
You’ll never understand
So it’s my job to teach you
To show you
To let you in
•
You’ll never understand
Even though you say you do
Because you didn’t know me then
And you may not even know me now
•
You’ll never understand
Because I don’t even understand
I’m changing and growing and evolving
I’m reintroducing me to myself, too
To love harder or to let go
Does it have to be one or the other?
Why not both?
Why not neither?
•
Sometimes to love is to let go
Letting go can be freeing
Letting go can be hard
Why does it have to be this way?
•
What if I change “this way?”
What if I let others come to me
The way that I used to come to them
Embrace with open arms when ready
•
Maybe I’ll try that
Because loving harder hurts me
Because letting go hurts others
And I want everyone to win
No one will ever love me like you do
No one will ever look at me like you do
No one will ever listen to me like you do
No one will ever welcome me like you do
No one will ever come close to you
The way you make me feel
The way I laugh around you
The way you bring the playful side out of me
You’re my best friend and I can’t thank you enough for that.
Did you know you can rescue your best friend?
Linley scurrying
Sticking his nose in the dirt
Looking up at us
~
Wind in our hair
Sun shining on our skin
Wanting to be spring
~
Trees moving about
Creating outside movement
That is much needed
~
Linley loves water
And he starts digging in it
To find something new
~
We all need newness
During these uncertain times
But now there is hope
~
Walking with Linley
Is the most underrated
Joy in this great life!
Hitting the glass
drowning out my thoughts
yet forcing me to imagine more
to feel more
to hurt more.
People are like raindrops
some are perfect, content, stable
others are imperfect, running from pain
running from reality
running from this uncertainty.
