Loving You

I'd do anything you ask
Me, beloved one,
You whose presence lights my life 
Like the shining sun.

Ask me to stay, hold you close, 
And that I will do,
I will also let you go
If you want me to.

I wrote this poem last night after having a text conversation with my ex-boyfriend. We’re still friends, but I’m still in love with him; and now he wants to become a priest. I have known about this change of heart for a week.
