I’ve found myself thinking “I couldn’t go through this again.”
But when I think about it -
I mean, really think about it –
that’s not true.
If I had my time again…
I would know you again.
I would love you again.
And if that meant I would lose you again,
I would still do it.
Because this is hard.
But,
whilst I think I couldn’t do it again,
the alternative is never knowing you.
Never loving you.
And that is even more painful than this.
And that’s how I know I’ll be ok. In the end.
Because I know that my love – our love – is stronger than my loss.
Because I know that I would lose you all over again.
As long as I had the opportunity
to love you.
