I'm letting go

Have you ever held on to something too tightly? So tight that it couldn't even move. Have you ever held that power over someone else? Have you ever felt like you are the only thing that is keeping it together? Have you ever felt like you were forcing it? Have you ever realized that? Have you realized that if you were to let go, that maybe it wouldn't willingly be here next to you? Have you hurt like this?

Yes.

"And you will never really know how someone truly feels about you, until you both have a little bit of [power]." - I forgot who quote this

Just let it go.

When you love someone so deeply
They become your life
It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside
Blindly I imagined I could
Keep you under glass
Now I understand to hold you
I must open up my hands
And watch you

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly, butterfly

I have learned that beauty
Has to flourish in the light
Wild horses run unbridled
Or their spirit dies...
You have given me the courage
To be all that I can
And I truly feel your heart will
Lead you back to me
When your ready to...

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly, butterfly

I can't retend these tears
Aren't over flowing steadily
I cant prevent this hurt from
Almost overtaking me

But I will stand and say goodbye
For you will never be mine
Until you know the way it feels
To spread your wings and fly
