The Free One

You were in a cage but you wanted to be free.
You wanted to fly so I set you free.
Go where you want to go it does not matter to me.
For it does not good to hold on to something if it doesn't want to be.
So leave and find another to keep you safe and warm.
My door will no longer be open so I hope it does not storm.
And as I mope I think of you the one I set free to fly to someone new.
