Allowance of Love~ By Dori Lewis

7/18/2018

Instead of imagining you will never love me in the way that I love you 
(The way my heart drips with its perspiration. The way my soul moans for you to inspire its next breath...)
What if I could spin into creation our togetherness?
What if I were to manifest, from my mind’s eye, you telling me that your heart was wailing for me too? 
That would be okay. 
It would be okay to think, even for a second, that you have fallen in love with my spirit. 
My feminine. 
My essence of being. 
Perhaps I could survive the tiny moments of yearning that thump around in my days. 
By dreaming of you, loving me.

After reading this, I long to hold you, look into your eyes and tell you I love you, AND I understand
