~ Freed You… ~ 

☆ 

Yes, you may leave

Fly…

I’ve freed you forever

Little did you know

when the light that once illumined you

vanished into the sombre dark

Nor did I realize

when the night itself fell asleep

thinking of you

And here I am…

Ending where I began

With a smile

I loved you enough

to let you be you,

unconditionally

We were one sky once

Now,

two stars

poles apart

But go…

Scale that sky

For the sky is not the end

It is only the beginning

And my heart —

bigger than

the endless sky
