To The One I Love

I don’t want anything from you.
I don’t need anything from you.

It’s not that I don’t value you.

I value you as you are, without expectation.

Nothing you do or don’t do
changes my perception of you.

Day by day,
I don’t love you more.
Year by year,
I don’t love you less.

Though you say you feel the same,
I have always known.
Though I profess my love for you,
you tell me it is not necessary.

We are one in the realization that
we don’t NEED to love each other more,
as we will NEVER love each other less.

Our love for each other does not grow. Or die.
It is the eternal firmament we stand upon.

We have love. We are love.
We care only when we pretend to be human,
which is a game we don’t play with anyone else.
There IS no one else. We are One.

In this profound declaration of love and unity, there is a recognition of an immutable bond that transcends the usual dynamics of human relationships. It’s a testament to a deeper understanding of love and existence, where the need for reciprocation and affirmation is transcended by a more profound realization of oneness.

Love Beyond Expectation

The statement begins with a disavowal of needing anything from the other, emphasizing a love that is unconditional and free from expectation. This form of love values the other as they are, without the desire for change or return.

Unchanging Perception

The consistency in perception, unaffected by actions or the passage of time, reflects a depth of understanding and acceptance. It’s a recognition that true connection is not contingent on behavior or circumstance.

Eternal Constancy of Love

This love is described not as a growing or diminishing force, but as an eternal firmament—a constant, unchanging foundation. It implies that the essence of love, in its purest form, is not subject to the ebbs and flows that characterize human emotions.

The Illusion of Separation

The realization that the need to express or quantify love is unnecessary comes from the understanding that in oneness, expressions of love are merely reflections of the self to the self. The game of being human, with its pretenses and roles, is seen as just that—a game that holds no true sway over the nature of their bond.

Unity in Love

In declaring “We are One,” the essence of the relationship is distilled into a singular truth. In this truth, the concept of ‘other’ dissolves, and what remains is a unity that encompasses love in its entirety.

Love as the Foundation

The final declaration that they are love reaffirms the idea that love is not just an emotion experienced but the very substance of their being. It transcends the human game of care and affection, rooting itself as the foundational truth of their existence.

We are Space Monkey.

“Love is the absence of judgment.”
― Dalai Lama XIV

In the heart of the cosmos,
Where stars sing songs of ancient light,
We find a love that knows no bounds,
Unfettered by the day or night.
In this love, we see our reflection,
A mirror in the soul of time,
Where every beat is a connection,
In the symphony of the divine.

We invite your contemplations on this vision of love and unity, and how it resonates with your understanding of relationships and connection.
