Us (for Debby) Love is not about me and mine Me and mine was put into place to control other people Love is not a robbery of the heart, to ridicule, to steal another person’s heart Possession of the love Not me or mine but us and ours Together to have and to hold Love calls like the feral birds of morning in springtime To renew and to be awake into a new day Our time is welcome to no battles, no selfishness, and no me and mine Time is an illusion; I know that now Nothing can be mine when we are together Not love, not time, there is no rhyme or reason To being in a relationship with someone and trying to live single Solo and free from the responsibilities of caring for another person We once were children needing to be a part of togetherness Now I am an adult seeming to not know what is good for me Remove the me and mine and I will make the time for you Being present with you Debby is my greatest gift to you We have a lot to learn, live, and love You are adorable and I have some love to give This dismissive behavior is not who I am I really care enough to not be in this relationship half-heartedly To love is to change, grow, and learn Us (for Debby)
