Poetry / Knowing

Love who you love without hesitation
What could go wrong if you fail
What could go right if you leap
People ask “What’s your back up plan if this fails?”
But what’s my plan if this succeeds?
And I don’t know
I can’t picture us clearly
Old and wiser for the seasons we could weather together
In the silent moments
Between my alarm ringing at 5.45am and 6.00am
I let myself dream
Of all the things I want to manifest
Of all the things you and I could be
Knowing there’s only so much energy I can give each day
Knowing that ultimately the places we want to end up are not the same
Knowing that I’ll need to forgive myself for choosing
To let some things go
To let some people go
To let you go
Knowing it’s not our time
