A New Poem

You noticed I glided right past you. The sex poem had all the elements of a missing ground wisdom. The missing corner seems to be you can only love someone if you can walk away from them. Accountability is required in relationships, and codependency doesn't allow for accountability. You'd have to be willing to walk away even from your own daughter in order to love and be responsible with anyone. That's a bitter pill to swallow certainly. But it never has to come to that if you don't play codependent games with people you love. It's just a matter of mutual respect based on respecting people's choices. For example, at my work a young woman had to learn how to say yes or no for herself. She came in earlier and I had to ask her when she wants to go on lunch. Sometimes she wants to go first. Sometimes she wants to go last. But I never know unless I ask.
