Ten years have passed,

and I believe I now have the strength to love—

without falling into fantasies of love.

I am ready.

I can love without asking for anything in return,

without needing attention or care,

without tying my worth

to how others treat me.

I simply exist—as I am.

I no longer seek anything from romantic relationships,

no longer crave affirmation through being loved.

I believe I am finally prepared—

not to seek love from the outside,

not even to need his love.

I love you.

And that you are you—is enough.

In this life, I was lucky enough to meet my twin flame.

And in the end, I thank him for showing up—

it was through love that I entered the path,

and he led me toward wholeness.
