Unpacking

Here we stand in front of each other
And there is this luggage between us
Weight that we took on our shoulders
Experiences that hurt our hearts
and associated bitter pain
with the sweet taste of love
Suitcases that we packed
in this lifetime and far beyond

We unpack the stories,
unpack our emotions, our wounds
We leave behind
the old luggage
so that our arms will be free
to receive each other
and we travel light
further on our journey of love
