Sooner or later
Men let you down. Guaranteed –
They’re just made that way
The love you can trust
Begins with you. Believe it
And love yourself first
Make a small bright sun
Inside your chest; get warm, smile
And open your eyes
I wrote these haiku two days ago for a friend in China. I’m posting them here for Naomi as a response to her last post. I love you like crazy N, and even moreso since I’ve had a peek inside your head in the pages of this blog.
Everyone feels alone at quarter to three in the morning, but you are never alone, Naomi. I promise. Just because you can’t see us doesn’t mean we’re not there.
Thanks. )
This is really beautiful.
