The Honest Romantic

when we used to talk

about what inspired us

empowered us

and made us feel invincible

you told me love made you feel

invincible

but never what inspired you

i wanted to fill in the blanks

but that is a question that can never be answered

by someone other than

yourself

I became more fluid

I changed

yet sustained so many elements of myself

that you had grown to know

that I had grown to know

I don't recall ever losing myself

but my heart told me that

if I didn't allow for change to flow

organically through me

that I would lose my mind

and myself

forever
