Below the Ocean
REAL CONSULTING
Below The Ocean ™
I am glad I loved him
He taught me to respect myself through pushing me away
I loved him with my body, my mind, my soul and my spirit
Like no other
Perhaps it was an illusion – seeing his soul
The perception of what he once was
What could he be
Despite his flaws I loved him in the depths of the ocean
Like a warm sunny day
Like the clouds floating in the sky
Like the breeze in my hair
He took my breath away
Despite the pain of ending
The agony of loss
The despair of knowing
I learned so much about me
The deeper you love the deeper the lesson
I’ve been alone most of my life
Yet in my aloneness
I grew through the pain of loving men that do not show up
I am accountable in holding back
I over give
To say my truth is it heard?
It is too much for many
My presence states I can manage well
Yet if I wish your presence, you are not there
I just believed
I chose to see the goodness despite the vacancy
I will always love you
Thank you for the man you have been
Not for what I had hoped for
I had hoped you could see my heart
I had hoped you could really see me
I have spent a lifetime learning my value
The moments of loving kindness have been bliss
The moments of angst have been heartbreaking
Yet I still pray goodness for you
I will lay below the ocean to heal and love me more
