Shift in my blood

Lovers don't finally meet.

They're in each other all along.

Rumi

Yesterday I finally felt my blood shift. I am ready to leave Istanbul. I am ready to part from her quivering shores. I think I have been afraid to go because I love her but now I finally understand how much she is a part of me and  how much I am part of her. 

And that we are finally free. 

I feel excited by this thought...and terrified. What next? Where next? O my two laydees are in for adventures.
