The Celebration Dad Spoke Of.

I want you to love me because you are complete without me.

I want you to love me without time, distance, silence, another, fear and doubts as the other six parties.

For that is how I have now learned to love myself.

And in that self-love, I, too, have _(re)realized the love I had _(have) for you.

But you have to meet me at the same point, beloved.

_{For I finally accepted that I would not want you any other way.}

As my 18-year-old self once said, my 26-year-old self now repeats, "Love cannot live in one who is afraid."

I can only hope to see you where fear is absent.:)
