Listen

You are not my friend, we don't hang out, laugh, share, encourage each other, support each other.

You are not my buddy- I don't call you when i need advice, input, a smack in the head.

And yet, I can't hate you--

I adore you

I cannot survive without you

You make my life miserable, yet complete me

You can give me all I need to survive

and all I need to destroy myself

But I don't want to just survive,

I want to thrive, live, yell at the top of my lungs...

There's more than just you out there in the world.

So, let's start a new relationship based on those facts...

Truly we cannot live without one another.

But I wish to take from you what I truly need

and disregard the rest.

I want to add words like savor, moderation, slow, nurture, and sustenance to our relationships

So that I can add words like, delve, extreme, full-out, satisfy, create, embrace, and exuberant to

the rest

of my

life.

So, LIsten...

Things are changing around here.

You be what you are:

fuel and sustenance and a nurturing source

And I'll be what I am

wild, free, sexy, alive, joyful, ready, unstoppable, complete, whole, enlivened, grateful, FULL,

loving, amazing, incredible....

Let's watch our boundaries, shall we, you and I?

I'm pretty clear on mine.
