Allow you to find the God of your understanding - however whenever and if ever you chooose

Allow you to make what I perceive to be foolish mistakes

Never possess you and never let you possess me

Allow you to maintain your dignity and never let you take away mine

Allow you to seek help in your own way wherever and whenever you choose

Leave your responsibilities in your hands and assume my own

Allow you to hurt when you choose

Never apologize or cover up for you

Be your best friend or never see you again

Miss you but not be destroyed when we are out of touch

Drop all my expectations of you

Become so serene and at peace that I don't "need" you

Let go of jealousy and anger

Allow you to have your secret space and to have my own

Listen to you with an open heart when I can

Never tolerate your unacceptable behavior - forgive your unacceptable behavior when and if I am ready

Allow you to grow faster or slower than I do without resentment

Allow you to take magnificent care of yourself your spirit and those things that are yours. I choose the same for myself

Allow you to become the beautiful person that you are

I love you enough to.....

....let you go!!
