Love

I don't know much about relationships
but I know about love.

I know about healthy love
giving from freedom and strength
loving self and life
and giving thanks for the world
without fear
without attachment to outcomes
without a need to be right.

I know about unhealthy love
showing you care, by setting rules
possessiveness, need and control
showing how much
what you do, reflects on me
fear of losing you
of making mistakes.

I am not always healthy
I am not always sick
If I can love myself
I can love you.
