The Princess' abdication
Today is the day I set us free
today is the day I kiss you
today is the day I let you know
that in my life, soul, heart, time, space
there's plenty of room
but for a privileged companion:
there's room for an ecosystem of
lovers, friends, family, beautiful creatures
but no one-to-one contracts
no priority for one single schedule
no hierarchy for one single person
no King and Queen
but a community of equals
so I set this fairytale free
I swap the kingdom for anarchy
let it go like a little paper boat on the shore
I'm not going to be your 2.0 wife
nor the mother of your next kids
I'm not going to be the one you organize your holidays with
nor the one you share the comfort of exclusivity with
and most of all
I won't move an inch
and I know that accepting all this would mean
unbalance
and pain
for you
so if you're not into this, I'll understand:
I wouldn't accept it myself
if that's what you wanted – and I didn't.
So today is the day I kiss you
on the forehead
hold you very very very tightly
touch your beautiful neck
hold your smell in my lungs
sink in your chest
and
let
you
go
