Poem: Who Taught You How to Love Me?

I love you and I wish I loved you sooner.

I wish I listened to you more.

I’m sorry for not trusting you.

I’m sorry for not believing in you.

I was scared of the unknown.

I was scared of seeing too much.

I didn’t know what to do with all of that information.

All of that knowing.

Now with you by my side.

It is clear.

It is warm.

It is safe.

It is rooted.

It is heartfelt.

It is knowing.

I can navigate through safely.

I am protected and everything makes sense now.

This is a powerful gift that I honour, appreciate and

I am so so so grateful for.

Thank you for your patience in my actualization of it. Thank you for standing by. Thank you.
