Love, I Set You Free

Like a hatchling from chrysalis,
I'm letting go.
I'm hoping you fly
So I can wish you a fall
great miles away from I.
Until I am worthy;
Love, I accept you free

I have not been the companion.
You, with all efforts to own
No, not love!
Like a prize to be won,
diamonds to possession,
No, not love!
And I never understood it then,
Colossal mull over on
Why I'm still trying!
So, until I deserve you back with me
Love, I set you free.
