an intake of breath

there's a freedom
like an intake of breath
in allowing oneself to be loved
as the other would love
no second-guessing
no weigh nor measure
no sense of falling short

it's not up to us
to hold the reins
to steer the wheel
just breathe out
relax
understand
for the other
we're enough
