holding space
I am holding space
for the overwhelm
I caused you
for reaching out
when your capacity was at its limit
I am holding space
for the moments I was too immature
to gift you room to breathe
I am holding space for me
in a way I was not able to
when meeting my shadow
when giving in to anxiety and fear
I am holding space
for the wounding that
showed up for me
and most likely for you too
I am holding space
for pausing our resonant friendship
for understanding
the need to retreat to higher ground
for the trenches we have dug
until we might to lay down our armour
I am holding space
for the unknown timeline
when our conflict might dissipate,
when the hurt might dissolve
I am holding space
for renewing our friendship
and for extending compassion to us both
I am holding space
for allowing what wants to emerge and unfold
from the depths of our hearts and souls
I am holding space
for what remains unresolved
without expectation
I am holding space for us
if we wish to meet again
