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
