Goodbye Letter
Oh, love, I'm so sorry
I've lost you,
I've lost you
To a city of woven roots
Dead leaves, towers of trees
The crunch of the forest floor
Beetle shells,
babies teeth
Where did your footsteps go?
You were following the stepping stones
You were following the fire flies
You were humming a gentle melody
A memory
of a memory
of a dream
What did you see?
What did you feel when you left
When you decided to leave me
I give up,
I give you up
Be free
