things I think I know about love:
it’s much easier
to love
everyone
when you stop
taking responsibility
for their actions

when I can
let myself be me,
I can let you
be you
with no “hard feelings”
(resentments)

when I secretly
want to change
you,
you will always disappoint me
when I start by
wanting to change
myself
I will always fall short

I can love you
as
I love myself
&
no deeper
---
I can give you what I give myself
&
no more
---
I cannot give you what I want [to]
if I don't know what
it feels like to
have it
anything less just isn't
the same
thing

I could hate you for
not loving me
or
I could love you for loving me
in the ways that
you can
&
nothing else would change

I could love you for
who you are
now
or
I could hate you for
not living up to my
expectations

when we
learn how to love
purely,
everything changes

I could be wrong
about everything
I know
&
I would love myself even more
it takes so much love
to have convictions
in this world

when I let myself
be wrong,
I stop letting myself
be hurt
by my own self-judgement

on becoming a fountain of limitless possibility:
when you fall in love with
who you are
you also fall in love with
who you can be
