i’m visiting my roommate at work and we’re having a conversation about love. how the love that i gave in my past relationship is still in me. the way i love, the truth of my love, that current is always in me, always flowing and in motion. and it is something i will carry into my next relationship. the love in me does not die after a relationship and be born new in the next. it is a constant that stems from me, and my next relationship will be our loves interacting with each other. what i bring will always be the genuine thing in me. that is my power, that is my gift to give. and what they bring will always be what they bring. and they meet or they don’t. and if they don’t, i know this and carry on with my love. love is never a dead thing. it is … a thread through all of life.
