You taught me how to love again

“Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not the desire to mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. No, don’t blush, I am telling you some truths. That is just being in love, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.” -Louis de Bernières, Captain Corelli’s Mandolin

Be present. Make love. Make tea. Avoid small talk. Embrace conversation. Buy a plant, water it. Make your bed. Make someone else’s bed. Have a smart mouth, and quick wit. Run. Make art. Create. Swim in the ocean. Swim in the rain. Take chances. Ask questions. Make mistakes. Learn. Know your worth. Love fiercely. Forgive quickly. Let go of what doesn’t make you happy. Grow.

Dear men who try to change me I will not Quit smoking I will not Eat less Wear heels more often Or cut my hair I will not take drugs With you And have unprotected sex Because my body Is the only monument I have left. Dear father I will not Stop wearing second hand dresses To interviews And life changing job meetings I will not Stop putting black lipstick on Or cut my nails I will not Let you shame me Because my heart is brittle with Remorse From the years you lived next to me In absence. Dear mother I will not clean my room more often I will not wear pijamas to bed I will not change my friends Stop making tattoos on my skin Or come back home I will not let you take me down In anger Because I was born a different person than you And you taught me to confuse Aggression for affection To seek the impossible love In men And chase dust and abandon. Dear lovers I will not Write poems about you When you ask me to pour my soul Automatically To please your ego Because I will not change Who I am For anybody else Than me.
