Ready Again?

i was listening to a love song early this morning and it suddenly struck me...

i want this.

i want to feel this.

i need to feel love in my life again.

after 6 months of overcoming grief and loss... after 6 months of being alone and re-discovering myself...

i find that i can be happy on my own.. and, yes, i am ready to be happy with someone else.

i am ready to love with a heart that's been broken and made whole again.

i am ready to be loved in return and to let someone in.

i am ready to once again take the risk of being rejected and undergoing heartache.

i am complete. i am whole. finally.

and i am ready.
