Left Alone

I remember how we are used to...
I remember the old days when you were with me...
I remember when I was the only one...
I remember when they were not there...
I don't know if you do,
But I remember...

Like a little girl with a kite on a hurricane
I held on to you.
As tight as I could
Didn't want you to leave,
didn't want you to go anywhere without me
But eventually,
the string wounded my clamped fingers,
and the hurricane slapped my face as if saying,
"Let go of him."
And I let go.
Not intentionally, not even one bit.
Out of hurt, out of pain,
in the name of healing,

I let go
and surrendered you to the hurricane.

It wasn't long before you were soaring up in the skies
Enjoying the view from the top,
Finding out what you were made for
*without me*
Having your ups and downs
*without me*
With all your stories I'm dying to hear
*but I don't*

The thread that once connected us
Snapped
And I am left with a few inches worth
of memories
While you take everything else
with you.

Seeing you up there
Made me wish I was with you

Like before
From the start.

Take me with you....
if you could....
But I know you wouldn't.

Maybe I should just find
my own happiness
and dreams
and
love
here on the ground,
without you.
