Wings

Relating.

The reason I don't talk anymore

Is because I remember when I could soar.

I was as free as the wind,

I'd go wherever my heart beckoned.

But it's not your fault,

I've lost my own pulse.

And I'm not really sad,

I just think too much about what I've had.

I have trouble letting go,

I can't seem to find the current here.

And don't think I don't love you,

My life has become so beautiful

And yes, you make me happy,

just in different ways.

I've tried and I've tried

to find some reason

But sometimes even reason doesn't make sense.

Words can change me and you could forever break me.

But instead you treat me as a fragile crystal.

I've been cut in order to shine.

The only way to hurt me is by my own kind.

I do love you.

We come together to make one.

I do love you.

We are forever, we ride into the everlasting sun.
