Learning How to Let Go

Staying up late at night

Talking about our favorite cartoons and songs

We stumbled upon this connection

You helped me feel like I belong

We’d walk through parks

And play in the snow

You loved to watch me dance

How quickly your smile would grow

I started to create a vision

Of what my life could be

With you as my partner

There’d be beauty in every little thing

Then, little by little

We started growing apart

The reasons why, I’m not sure

But I began feeling a pain in my heart

You started going down your own path

And I went down mine

As quickly as we came together

Thus, diverged the lines

You wanted something new

A place to be and a person to become

Yet I already had the answers

The most difficult of times, I had already overcome

We tried to maintain the bond

Knowing it would never be like before

I tried to find home in your eyes

But I just couldn’t see it anymore

The pieces broke apart

As leaves do in the Fall

But Spring won’t bring us together again

Even though we’ve been through it all

It’s time to set you free

As the wind carries a dandelion seed to a new destination

So too will you find home in another place

And I, in search of a familiar sensation

Celestial Bodies

I often wonder how it all happened

How the elements collided to create this world we know

It was all a divine plan, resulting in order and harmony

And now I can feel the same energy, all our pieces come together as one

It’s as if gravity pulls me towards you

Like a moon circling in your orbit

I know what it’s like to feel the darkness around me

But your love will warm me, just like the rays our sun emits   

I feel the celestial vibrations  

The same kind that created the stars

I felt them when we were together

And I feel them when we are apart

Do you see me in the waves

As you stand before the sea

Or do you feel my touch

Like raindrops falling on the leaves of a tree  

Can you feel my breath

Like a warm mist moving across your skin

Or can you feel the weight of my spirit

As it blankets you from within

Do you miss the way

I wrapped my arms around you from behind

As a sign of how much I needed you

As I felt your hand rest upon mine

Do you sense my tears

Like dewdrops on the grass

As my mistakes become clear

With every moment that passes

Just as its rings

Wrap Saturn in a celestial hug

So too will I be close

Our spirits tightly snug
