Sometimes we hold on
longer than we need to

Not to control
but because it feels safer

Being the one who holds
the one who knows
the one who is there

can become part of who you are

And when something begins to change
it can feel unsettling

What do you do
when you no longer have to hold as much

To make space
is not to let go of love

It is to let it breathe
in a new way

Sometimes care comes

so close

that it does not feel like support
but like something that holds you back

You feel it
perhaps as unease
or as the need to step back a little

That does not mean you do not care

It means you also need space

Space to feel for yourself
choose for yourself
be in your own

You can set boundaries
without closing your heart

You can move through this
in your own time

Warmly, Rita 🌿💛
