Love Poem: Finding Your Way

Finding Your Way

you said you weren't ready
had to go find your way
you said you're becoming someone else
didn't recognize your own face
you looked back over your shoulder
gave me a little smile
you said it might only take a minute
or it could take a good long while

and so I released my grip
like a bird, set you free
to see if you could find it
yourself and what you need
but it took longer than a moment
you've been gone for quite some time
I don't know if you found it yet
what you searched for that wasn't mine

I couldn't get close to your spirit
inside there's no soul to bear
I couldn't fix you, couldn't save you
but I tried--laying my heart bare
in the breeze you're still soaring
looking for that place to land
and in my dreams I'm crying
over what we didn't have
