All the loves you’ve lost,

how hard was it to say goodbye?

Maybe all the letting in and letting go

was strength training for your heart.

Strength training that built your capacity,

to fall so deeply in love that not even a lifetime will do.

How painful. to love something so much,

knowing someday it will not exist.

Is that not just as beautiful

as it is painful?

Is that not all

of life? 

I dare you,

to fall

in love

with your own existence.

I dare you.

Now that is bold.
