TRIP

Written for Goodreads,  posting it here too

You can go on that trip, my love

I am allowing you to.

The world is a vast and beautiful place

So much to explore

Without me

We did so much together

rode my wheels

shared our bodies

near the campfire

With soft and tender arms

Tamed broken pasts

Cried and yelled at the moon

and crushed nightmares

Drank together and helped each other

back to bed

Sweetheart, I love you

But I cannot bind you to me

I see the longing in your eyes

while you are watching these mountains

those sunsets.

I feel you drifting

Like a traveller in time

from my heart, from my love

from my arms

I will not keep you

Freedom is important

The wild roar of your heart

is not for me anymore

I am allowing you

He is lovely

So go, my love

Climb that mountain in the sunset

I will watch you with a smile

and eternal love

in my heart.
