Living Outside...

contemplate, an hour of wait, 
my thought of you, 
...no complaints... 

...this love tranquil, delivers hope, 
one wish, one chance, one dream 
nothing else, happiness gifted... 

...gifted from her to me...
...accepted passionately...

waiting, in a quite moment, 
without hesitation, disruption... 
living outside, the box...is safe,... 

all, cycles so many smashed... 
completely destroyed...not the same... 
released, realised blame... 

like a cancerous tumor, that once 
dictated, my thoughts, my life, 
learning to relax, in love,

...without remorse... 

more importantly play, bonus of life... 
quiet times, time alone...reflection... 
reminds my mind, this happiness in me... 

this journey once, so destructive, 
many lessons learnt, many false 
passions, we allow, let them run their 
course... 

living outside, now justified...
when we discover the alternatives, 
happiness adapted,
 the negative subtracted... 

releasing, formula who we are... 
...rather than someone or thing 
wanting me to be...living outside 
with self worth, 
the beautiful imagined, 

...living outside with her...
