When I met you…

When I met you…

- To Ido -

 

When I met you, I knew that you would ultimately leave me.

And yet,

I still chose to open my heart,

Inviting you to come to my life, to witness my life,

Allowing myself to show you the most vulnerable and the darkest side of me.

 

When I was scared and panic,

You always told me with a very calm tone,

“You are safe here!”

 

When I fell into swirls of sorrow.

You would use your gentle voice to hold me tight,

Letting me know that I could wail and howl without holding back,

Grieving all the losses in my life.

 

When I was in touch with my deepest anger,

You would encourage me to express my rage,

And you would meet my anger firmly with understanding and compassion

 

When I started doubting myself,

You would show me my value by loving me and accepting me unconditionally

 

When I questioned the meaning of life,

You would always patiently bring me back to the here and now,

And let me experience the power of the presence.

Letting me understand

The answer is the here and now.

 

Through your eyes,

I’ve finally seen “me”.

Through your love,

I’ve finally found “me”.

 

After all,

When I open my heart,

When I show my vulnerability,

I can connect with you.

 

 

 

 

 

Oh~

I have been seen

I have been heard

I have been cared

I have been loved

I have been accepted fully

By you…

 

And I,

I love you so much

Even though I knew you would ultimately leave me

Although I know that everything would end between us.

 

Oh~I do love you dearly!

 

 

When I met you,

I knew that you would ultimately leave.

And now,

It is the time.

My heart is aching because of your departure,

And yet, my heart is so full,

Full of gratitude and contentment

Because I know

I have been loved like this.

 

Oh~I love you so deeply

Even though you are going to leave me.

I can love you so deep because I have the ability to love myself.

 

Oh~I do love you truly,

With all my heart.
