Therapist: Benefits of this Friendship (Till you are ready to swim) – Article V of the Contract

“You’ve had your heart broken

You’ve watched as those crude emotions spilled over contaminating the waters

I just want to show you how to feel without drowning in your thoughts

Separate the oil from water, emotion from feeling

While there is nothing wrong with grieving if you spend all of your time looking back at what once was you will miss what’s to come

Hungover, waiting for the next shot from a bottle that’s empty

Keep reaching for an illusion that seemed real

That John Doe Joe Schmoe fusion that got you high but didn’t leave any remedy for the withdrawal

I get it, you believe there will never be another like him & to that effect you are correct

There will be something after him & then something again that when measured will be even better

That wall has you keeping ships at bay when what you need is to take one for a ride & escape the day drift in the night & let the winds sift through your hair, carry your longing away

Take a dip, just enough to get your hair wet yet able to safely stand

Allow the moonlight to reflect in your eyes

Let the current wash off the remnants then play in the next wave

Throw your hands up, free yourself of care put your arms around new opportunities floating in the air

Skinny dip in the next chance

I readily admit I’m not the one but I am that friend

I’ll help you regain your form and stroke again

More than willing to jump in with you help you uncover those undiscovered pleasures

Search in the caverns that you believed too treacherous, I’ll never shy away from new depths

I just want you to be aware of this, honest about it, & when the time comes be appreciative that you & I have that type of understanding & friendship

When the time comes I’ll even shine the light where you need to go

Just right now let go of the buoy take my hand and let’s go.

What you had has come to an end, I’m just here to guide you to till you are ready to swim”
