I should love you as
I used to love you
But I don’t.
I love you as I love you now,
As I love the ocean
Cradling me in hope and bliss;
As I love the Sun
Beaming down, illuminating
All that I am, all that is.

This is the way of love,
How it grows and shifts;
How it resonates with the energy of time,
With the rhythm of my heartbeat
In the heat of silence.

It is a calm and gentle place now,
Curled up in the womb of me,
Passion spent on dreams of how
It could be,
Faded now
Like the bark of a winter tree
Resting but full of life.

This is how I love you now.
