The Art of Flowing Love

I will love you without needing to keep you.

I will hold you, not as a possession,

but as sunlight held by the sea

brilliant for a moment, then gone,

but its warmth remains within the waves.

When the tide pulls you away,

I will not chase the ocean

I will stand in gratitude for the shimmer we shared.

For love is not mine to own,

only mine to experience,

and I am grateful to have felt it at all.
