Interdependence

Sam Yau

Lover, do not lose yourself

for I cherish who you are

and the way you live your life


Don’t please me

love me


In pleasing me

you lose part of you


In loving

you become expansive


Do not change

any part of yourself

because you want to fit in


Allow yourself

to change

in a natural and

intentional way

as we melt our lives

into each other


Like two circles

coming together

not all parts of us

will overlap


We will learn

what parts will remain

separate but together

with full support

from one another


Our life is

a dance between

independence and

interdependence


Each of us

self-sufficient

we are fuller and happier

when we join our lives together

in all our uniqueness


Our differences

will bring richness

to our shared life


We will remain curious and explore

the vastness of the universe that is us


Let us promise to share ourselves deeply

always believing in the best of each other


In mirroring each other

we find the best in us

we are still unaware of


We will dance this dance well


We will grow well together
