'loving With Her Core'
You should get closer to the parts of her
Those parts that are boarded up
It is not a case of keeping someone out
It is more a case of keeping something in
Even though getting hurt played a huge part
In her reaction
That didn’t scare her
She will love again
She will do it fiercely
She will embrace the momentum of letting go
She will welcome the chance to open herself up again
You see, she is all about
Loving with her core
When it doesn’t work out
She refuses to become bitter
That will mean she lost herself
In the process of loving someone else
The pages you read
The chapter you walked in on
Was written with you in mind
You will not be the main character
This is her story
You had a role to play
Not in the whole book
Just a chapter or two
Don’t get it wrong;
She doesn’t hate you
That would mean she gave you
The power to alter her – and
No one on earth should possess that much control
Over someone else
