What I learned from love

It has taken a very long time but I am finally beginning to see myself in a new way and love the person I see.  It is interesting that I did not discover this by focusing on myself but instead it was while I was thinking of a beautiful relationship I had in the past.  It felt so wonderful that I wanted it to go on forever, alas it did not.  But what I realize now is that I was given an incredible gift - not only did I have an amazing experience with another person but I am now able to see myself as that woman who has so much love inside that she can freely give to others.
