Love, I Am

Here I am 

Awaking with a heavy heart

Overwhelmed with sadness

Unable to shake away the melancholy 

Submerged in a puddle

Which has become dried spots on the pillow 

Here I am

Remembering the little details 

Knowing that what once was will never be again 

Reminiscing the laughter shared and the memories created 

Not regretting a single moment 

Here I am

Filled with gratitude 

For our unique experience 

For our undeniable falling in like 

For our story that at one point felt like a fairytale 

Here I am 

Deeply reminded of all the types of love 

How love inevitably permeates the air

That I am so cared for and beyond worthy

By the sweetest of friends and the dearest of family 

Here I am 

Accepting our differences 

Hoping for peace and solidarity 

Praying with confidence and tenacity

Here I am 

On the way to becoming okay

More than okay, actually 

Because a learning experience 

Is winning in my eyes 

Here I am 

With my heart having grown in size 

From the unfailing, unconditional, irresistible power of love
