To love is not to possess

Bukefalos 30 år!

Jag hittade en dikt som jag tycker är så klok och så vacker att jag vill dela den med någon. Har även bett min svägerska läsa den på vårt bröllop om några veckor :heart

To love is not to possess,
To own or imprison,
Nor to lose one's self in another.

To love is to join and separate,
To walk alone and together,
To find a laughing freedom
That lonely isolation does not permit.

It is to finally be able
To be who we really are
No longer clinging in childish dependency
Nor docilely living separate lives in silence.

It is to be perfectly one's self
And perfectly joined in commitment
To another - and to one's inner self.

Love only endures when it moves like waves,
Receding and returning gently or passionately,
Or moving lovingly like the tide
In the moon's own predictable harmony.

Because finally, despite a child's scars
Or an adult's deepest wounds,
They are openly free to be
Who they really are - and always secretly were,
In the very core of their being
Where true and lasting love can alone abide.


- James Kavanaugh
