I will mourn the loss, as one mourns
The end of what is perceived
Beautiful
I have not walked away empty
I am a collector of all things
Beautiful, ugly, and the in-between
I learned so much from my dead
Lover
That I will take with me
And travel
My lesson learned
From my Lesson Man, is
I am not afraid to give my all
I am not afraid to cut limits lose
My destination is not bound by fear
I learned, I still want and am able
To love
To trust
To believe
There is such a thing as true love
Even if it is brief and remains forever
Tattooed on my body and soul

I closely identify with your sentiment and experience. As my mama always said, "Bend. Don't break."
