How do I show up
and say
I don’t need you
for my happiness?
I arrive freely
just to be
with you
to discover you
and myself
thru you.
How do I stop
the habitual search
to fulfillment
thru another?
Not you?
Maybe him?
Her?
Must be
someone else.
Gotta go.
This isn’t “it”
Always hopeful
always seeking
to fill the void
of being human
rather
that to share
the emptiness together
and be full.
If you do not
fill the space
the way i hoped
i will replace you
exactly the way
i fear
being replaced.
you are not
good enough
exactly the way
I fear
i am not
good enough.
so i will find
another
and another
and another
to see
if just maybe
they might
be
“the one”
How do i come
needing nothing
and share with you
this time?
How do I do that?
I want to know
Because
That is love.
