Inspiration is everywhere in the work of a therapist. There is a fair amount of relationship pain that walks into my office. Many wish to have love, acceptance, and belonging….for the authentic self to be revealed, accepted, and loved. Not by what a person does or accomplishes……but to be truly loved. A dear friend of mine taught me this about intimacy: “It’s having the ability to sing the song of your beloved’s heart back to them.” The need to be loved with unconditional regard is natural and normal.
A poem for you……by the way, learn to sing the song of your heart to yourself, no matter what!
He didn’t get to know Me
The girl who needs to know you know
The girl who sways in the wind
Listening to her favorite songs
Dreaming about you
He didn’t get to know Me
The girl who needs to feel you know
The girl who dances to her music, Singing her favorite songs
A slow, steady bluesy mix, a rough female vocalist
Dreaming about you
He didn’t get to know Me
The girl who needs to know you know
The girl who looks in the mirror
Playing with her hair, twirling her locks
Imagining he will love all of her
Dreaming about you
He didn’t get to know Me
The girl who needs to know you know
That She doesn’t want to be that girl
The girl who knows she’s been living a half-life
The girl who knows you know
That she needs you, your real love
Her heart flutters
When her songs play
When her friends sit with her
When she loves him
The music dances on her heart
Singing, She looks for you, She doesn’t see you
She needs you where She Is
And She knows He knows….
She needs him to know
She is Free
When She knows He knows Her heart
When He can sing Her Heart Back to Her
