All things For Love

Lying awake early this morning, I realized that I was struggling with the decision of whether or not to speak my truth about the love I felt for my partner. This internal tug-of-war has been going on for months now, and it wasn't until today that I realized how absurd it was. How could it be wrong to express heartfelt love to anyone in this cold and uncaring world? While it could be argued that there are times when it is impossible to speak your truth for the sake of others (even though I have made myself sick over this habitual gagging), I realized in this case that it is my past relationships that had instilled this fear in me. But the thought of me or him leaving this incarnation without my declaration of love to this person, whether or not it is reciprocated, prompted me forward. And at the same time, I was able to forgive myself for my past mistakes in love. I decided that any action motivated by the heart should never be unforgivable. It just seemed so clear to me in this morning's first light.
