Gone Into the Wind

I am gone into the wind The word Love is mediocre for what I once had My Passion is not found without a will that you thought I never had The Joy I have is an unbinding freedom that has led me to places you never imagined I could go Watch me as I run far away, deep into fields of flowers and to lands far away Immersing myself in something new, that is without you I wonder if you wish you had followed me, and danced away the world along my side Time has flown through my hair just as the wind does now I’ll forget my worries as I run away with myself Forgetting you is the best thing I could ever do Spinning round and round the world goes Yet I stand still Watching it all go by Breathless at the beauty I’ve found here The silence of dawn swallows me each morning I watch the great sun rise I see the stars shine like diamonds in the night My thoughts always forming and moving Like an unyielding river in my mind From time to time I think of you And those moments we shared atop the world Looking down at everything below us And not caring, not seeing anything but each other Being a part of one another But letting me go was the best thing you could have ever done for me I feel that I’ve melted into the wind Freeing my soul to go Where I’ve always needed to go Far away from days with you Far away from here To some place new My soul is untamable like a wildfire My heart as big as the ocean My love forever sweet I am gone into the wind Forever spinning with the world I am free from the worlds restraints Such sweetness of my love you shall never taste again One day you will wake and morn your loss Forever gone from you i will always be
