Not Being In Love



There is a grand freedom
In saying 'I Love You'
and not hearing it in return.

Yes.
That initial cringe, that feeling
of needing to take it all back,
like pulling the magician's
rainbow scarf
back wards into the sleeve.
And yes...

there is nothing like the shared,
warm, animating, heart bloom
of two
in love
both evenly flowering true
risking nothing
but...

How free to say it
and mean it
and realize
there is no sin
in putting more love into the world
into someone's soul
and there is no loss to you
when you can see it as raining
onto dry soil
and realize
the loss is theirs.
