If you know how to love...

If you love, you will know that everything
begins and everything ends,
and there is a time for beginning
and there is a time for ending,
and there is no wound in it.

One is not wounded, one simply knows the season is over.
One is not in despair, one simply understands and one thanks the other:

"You gave me so many beautiful gifts. You gave me new visions of life, you opened a few windows I might never have opnede on my own.
Now the time has come that we separate and our ways part."

Not in anger, not in rage, not with a grudge,
not with any complaint,
but with tremendous gratitute,
with great love,
with thankfulness of heart.

If you know how to love,
you will know how to separate.
