I Fly Up

I love being in that space of the place after you have left

when the words you spoke

the thoughts that awoke and

your scent linger in the air.

They dance there and I fly up to meet them so quick.

You will come back soon.

But oh how I miss you and

oh how I wish you were here.

Don't leave

Don't go

Don't have me dance with your ghost.

All alone

Then she finds my weakest spot,

So cunning and sure

I was taken by surprise,

The boy in me

No longer so wise

I may not want to feel anything, but I felt you so well.

It's a waste to feel nothing

in order to not feel anything at all.

So your ghosts linger in the air

I fly up to meet them there

When I am ready to feel again

I will know it was you

Who ever had what we had.

What things stood in their way.

A heart is given only once.

Use it wisely, they say

Don't kill the sorrow and pain.

Let it be the fuel for more life and

More giving.

There’s always time for more living

So live it with me

Dance in my arms

You will come back soon

You have to

Maybe when I finally catch you and I am all yours,

We can stop the crying.

I don't cry when I have you.

I don’t cry when I fly up to you

The tears are for the ghosts

that linger when you’re gone and

For the joy of having you near

So don’t leave me

Stay and you will catch

Only the sweetest tear
