I have lost thee

I just want to hold you in my arms,  
have you close to me.  
I can't look back knowing you'll be missing— a pain I cannot bear.  

I want to look ahead,  
and find you standing, waiting there...  
But there comes a time where a bird must fly,  
and you can't keep it in its cage or it will die.  

So I set you free,  
hoping you will come back to me.  
But deep down I know,  
I have lost thee.
