Please, Love, Be Patient

I am learning to be open,
to get out of my head,
to allow life to happen
and trust in it instead

I am learning to let you in,
to feel you move inside
instead of feeling only myself;
please help me not to hide

I am learning what love is,
not just as a selfish holding
but as an expansive joy
I’ve only just begun knowing
