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.
