Thank you for being alive.
Thank you for having your unique struggles.
Thank you for teaching me to always come back to myself.
Thank you for the inadequacy I sometimes feel.
Thank you for freeing me from being your mate.
Thank you for daring to step out into the world.
Thank you for your companionship and dependability.
I set you free, not because I don’t need you anymore,
But because it is the best for both of us.
I set you free because that is real love.
I set you free because attachment creates burden.
I set you free because that is all I know to do.
I set you free so that we both have a chance to soar.
I set you free so that we can be friends.
I set you free so that we experience the spontaneous flow of life again.
