Lover, do not lose yourself
for I cherish who you are
and the way you live your life
Don’t please me
love me
In pleasing me
you lose part of you
In loving
you become expansive
Do not change
any part of yourself
because you want to fit in
Allow yourself
to change
in a natural and
intentional way
as we melt our lives
into each other
Like two circles
coming together
not all parts of us
will overlap
We will learn
what parts will remain
separate but together
with full support
from one another
Our life is
a dance between
independence and
interdependence
Each of us
self-sufficient
we are fuller and happier
when we join our lives together
in all our uniqueness
Our differences
will bring richness
to our shared life
We will remain curious and explore
the vastness of the universe that is us
Let us promise to share ourselves deeply
always believing in the best of each other
In mirroring each other
we find the best in us
we are still unaware of
We will dance this dance well
We will grow well together
