It’s time to let go of those texts…
There is some poetry to it. The intricacies of our daily conversations. How we share our routine, the tiniest of inconveniences, every shred of hope that was had, every disappointment, every tear, every fight, every conversation, every photo, every link. We created a beautiful web of memories, a tapestry of love all carefully tucked within this veil. A day without you was simply incomplete.
Then the hurricane came and the veil was swept away. The facade had faded into the pool of tears my eyes poured and for the first time, I saw you crystal clear. Our routine started to become a pastime, and then it was a distant memory. Yet, I am unable to let go of the past and allow myself the chance to step into this new world. This beauty, this happiness, this peace. It’s holding me back. Why am I holding on? What am I holding on for?
I am falling in love again. I met someone new. Someone kind, someone with empathy, someone secure and healthy. Someone who truly loves me for who I am and not for the potentialities of our union but for the truth of it. Not for the possibility of using my vulnerability but to allow it while providing me a nest so that I may feel safe and comfortable in it.
And we are weaving our own web, we are creating the most beautiful of tapestries. An entwining of hearts, of dreams and fears. Of hopes for the future and plans for the days to come. A man that allows me to be free, to be who I am and for the first time, I realise what real love is. It allows you to breathe, it allows you to grow. It does not oppress or belittle, it motivates and celebrates. And with our love, we will write the best poetry the world has ever seen.
Please show your support and love by clapping as many times as you’d like. ❤️ Umm Nala
