Hello its Mary Ann the moon's in Sagittarius
So I thought I'd call. How are you doing and where are you?
Are you still in Georgia? And how is everything
With this insane pandemic?
Anyway call me if you get a moment
And uh, hopefully we'll talk bye
Love, it doesn't have to be romantic love
Love, it doesn't have to be romantic love
I still think its the most powerful force in the Universe
Love, it doesn't have to be romantic love
Love, it doesn't have to be romantic love
I still think its the most powerful force in the Universe
Not bow down to that negative chatter
That negative self talk
But really hold space for ourselves
I just saw your GIF that's good
I just trust feeling I trust whats happening in my body
That radiates from you to other living things
And people and friends and enemies
But I've only gotten into serious relationships
With people who I found it to be easy
Self love and self compassion self love and self compassion
The deepest pockets of joy we have no control over other people
I've never really felt like that before
I don't just do that for anybody
Trying to hold a lot of space for that
What its like to love without expectation of outcome
Look at my faults and my flaws and not judge myself
But just improve myself and work on myself
Does it come natural for you to love without expectation of outcome?
You know what? The universe is gonna do its thing
And I'm gonna do my thing
And it can bring out the best in people
I feel like the right kind of love helps ascend people
To who they are meant to be
Love, it doesn't have to be romantic love
Love, it doesn't have to be romantic love
I still think its the most powerful force in the Universe
Love, it doesn't have to be romantic love
Love, it doesn't have to be romantic love
I still think its the most powerful force in the Universe
Enough respect and love to just let people go
Your needs and wants were just different
From other people's needs and wants
Go if it doesn't feel aligned for them
If it doesn't feel good for them
Separating from people is hard especially
If you like really love them
And how scary that can be if you haven't arrived there
What ever it is that you want in a relationship
That's what you deserve like and you should make space for that
That's why I called it a gamble I think no matter
How good it feels, we are never that other person
Because only they know what's good for them
The domino effect of love is just wild, its so wild
And its so multifaceted
As if it is my own, as if it is, as if you are me
I'm going to take care of you
And then I return you to the Universe right?
Whether you leave or you pass or your soul
Just returns and the time that we had together
It was my turn to experience you
And it was your turn to experience me
