Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places


Knowing you

Looking back now

I wonder if

I truly saw you

for ALL you were

the good and the bad

Because

instead

everything you were

effected me

Each word

and action

lensed selfishly

There was no you

Just me

and all my needs

all my insecurities

To know you at all

I had to let go

of expecting you

to make me feel

a certain way

So now I wonder

did I truly see you then?

Or did I make you up?

and was it all pretend?
