When I look into your eyes, a warm coating of understanding
suddenly wraps around me.
I am seeing you differently
and not because our relationship status has changed.
It drizzles down my neck, my throat.
I am looking at you, seeing different
because inside me,
I am a new person.
A new shape of a being.
I now look at you with strength and confidence
I am powerful because
I finally am conscious
of not only who I want to be or how I want to be,
but that the change has taken shape.
I am not afraid of
me
or you.
I know I would never do what I’ve done
to you
again.
I am a good, a better
person.
I am ready to love
my best,
my eyes
looking into yours,
the
perfect way
to
understand this.
Ah, the eternal promises; the “guarantee” of definite change… should we wait to see what next week, next month, next year, brings in their wake? I have a saying about romantic love. When someone says, “I love you” what they’re really saying is, “Make me feel good.”
