Letting go of Dreams

I almost called this one “Letting go of Love”, but that’s just not true.

Long after a relationship is over, the love remains…. sometimes even stronger than ever.

I’ll never let go of the love I have for anyone who I’ve ever been with.

What needs to go sometimes though is the dreams that come with that love. The movie you build in your head with the white picket fence and forever.

I’m coming to see that those dreams, while sweet, are poison. For me anyway. They lead me to want just THAT so damn bad that I don’t see what actually is.

I WANT it so bad I try to hold on so tight and force that future, and that’s led to an end every single time.

Well, I’ve finally learned Universe…. after 40-some-odd years.

I’ll enjoy love, and let that take me where it will. No more manipulating and begging and praying for one single outcome – my heart is open to whatever you actually bring me. And I have faith that it will be even better.

PS – good thing this applies to friends too, because I think I’m done with dating.
