What it took to get to you.

It took me releasing preconceived notions, to get to you.

It took me releasing my hate for men, to get to you.

It took me practicing unconditional love,

to get to you.

It took me releasing my past hurt, to get you.

It took me accepting love, to get to you.

It took me accepting that you have a past, to get to you.

It took me releasing judgement, to get to you.

It took me letting go of the need to control anyone, to get to you.

It took me choosing the simple life, to get to you.

It took me opening myself to the prospect of us, to get to you.

It took me acknowledging how I have contributed to my past failed relationships, to get you.

It took me loosening up a little and being open to the unknown, to get to you.
