Transformative
in sports
they say
you never learn much
from winning
but you learn much
from losing
when you win
you feel invincible
when you lose
you feel vulnerable
invincible is harder to teach
vulnerable is ready to learn
when someone you love dearly dies
you feel loss in the deepest way there is to lose
not only did you lose that person
but you lost the way they loved you
not to say you won’t feel love again
but that it won’t be the same
how can it be
why would you want it to be
the way they loved you
mattered
the way you loved them
mattered
