Where did we go wrong?*Mono no aware?*

 

 

Your-self

To know you doesn't  mean to give you what you want
To know me doesn't mean to deny me what I feel I own
My-self
For you
To understand my needs is not to know what created them
To understand your needs I need to listen to your silence
When we are together
For us
To love myself I need to listen to my silence

before my silence devours me

To love you means to listen to your silence
after you are gone and become whole again
Until next time

I
when I don’t give you what keeps making you happy
You
then believe that I don’t know you
I
oh how I wish you knew me but you can’t because I
keep becoming something new and you keep becoming
who you think you deserve to be

You and you alone

I can miraculously, just for you be the in full bloom cherry tree
on your iceberg
and if you want to get a taste of me you ‘ve got to
first reach the top
of your iceberg instead of trying to lift it up
while holding your breath


What about . . .
What makes you stronger is not always what you need To be stronger

doesn't mean to be in charge of yourself but to keep being compared
To be stronger than?

This sounds like quite an emotional struggle going on, but your words are so well chosen, so eloquently said, that I would like to save some of those lines to look at again and again. I was touched by this struggle to which we can so often relate but cannot express.
