You are Free

You are free.
Set free in fact!
I can't consider you a burden
You are not 'other'
you are one with me,
a part, an essential part,
integral to my being!

If I were a part of you
I wouldn't have been a burden to you,
a heavy one at that !
But it is not up to me.

I can love you
the way I always do
and you can read it
in my actions if you try to.
