i love you

i love you most not when i hold you close, but when i breathe, release, and let you go.

i love you best when you avert your eyes, not when you gaze in mine.

when i am alone, i can cry and cry,  and cry for wishes that have not yet come true.

but if you are here, the end is too near, and i just can’t bear losing you.

    the ability to love without a need to possess. how liberating to detach from the angst of ownership and control. near or far, the loved one is as complete as the lovers capacity to love.
