In Fate's Hands
As of yesterday,
As of today,
As of this minute,
Bravery has conquered my mind, body, and soul.
I am ready to let you fly away from me.
Maybe this is not our time.
Maybe your rhythm does not fit my rhyme.
Maybe, just maybe this is our end.
I can no longer play pretend.
Whatever the possibility is,
The overanalyzing,
The contemplating,
The longing
Stops here.
See, I have held on to idea of you for too long
Clarity and reality have taken it's place.
You know what they say
“If you love something
Set it free
If it comes back
Then it is meant to be”
You have made this flight thousands of times,
But this shall be your last.
I will set you free,
From my thoughts,
From my heart,
From my life.
If fate does not bring you back,
Then there is the long-awaited answer for me.
You are just not my destiny.
