Learning - poem

I have been conditioned slowly
not to worry about him
not to long for his time
not to ask too much about him
not to comment about what he did or say
not to miss him

I have learned gradually
to mind my own business
to spend time on my own
to accept his aloofness
to allow him be him
to let him go free

I am learning now about
how to stay happy without him
how to be confident again
how to love God as I should
how to help others like before
how to accept me as I am
