Somehow it is that
my books are filled
with pages of you
and agonies
but it doesn’t matter anymore
I did not give way to those things
that would crush my spirit
So while I hurt and ache and grieve and count my bruises
I acknowledge what is good about me
and worth keeping
Something stopped me from giving it all away
It wasn’t easy as I plodded along
from day to day
calling out weak and fearful pleas
for guidance
Somehow I held myself up
and now my life has changed
No longer will I cling to the things that kept me
stuck closed untouchable unreachable
I know what to give myself
and you can’t have it

You have come to the best conclusion. Indeed we can't possess each other anyway.
We can just love.
Very nicely sad.
Love, Margherita

(smiles) Yay! As they say, "True happiness comes from you!" and begins there, and there you can spread happiness from your smile! (big angel hugs) We can all love one another but it doesn't mean we can possess one another, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Rubillam, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

It sounds as if you've balanced everything out and are comfortable with your decision, and that should give you added strength.

peaceful wishes for you
