Now learn how to fly.

Sometimes I imagined if I’m just hearing voices in my head and they were never real.
I heard you calling my name and I remembered turning around and staring into a stranger I hoped worn your face.
It was one of the stranger things that kept happening to me lately.
In the morning, when I wake up, I thought I smell you. I thought you were lying right next to me the previous night but you disappeared without a sign, a note.
And I had to stop myself. It was insane.
Here I thought I was back on track, I got derailed again.
Didn’t anyone tell you it’s not good for my mental state?

Geez, don’t you start yelling at me again!
I am not at fault here!
I am the one you left behind!
I am the one who has to keep on living right!
Now, don’t you dare walk away from me!
Stay!
Please...
I beg of you, T

Let me be a coward, just tonight
Tomorrow, I promise I’ll take flight
I’ll do all the things you never had a chance
I’ll walk away but I’ll do you proud and right

I picture you sitting and half-dozing off with a book in your hand in my closed eyes
I wanna re-invite you back into my life
Would you say yes, will you come?
I’ll reintroduce you to the goodness of life
I’ll rein you back in into reality
The cobalt blue in your eyes will sparkle and your teeth will shine
There are times
When it’s high and sometimes low
Or so I’m told
I’ve never quite live it long
I just wanted to be on the ride to somewhere that isn’t cold

I’m gonna let you in on a secret now
A secret meant only for your ears and mine
I love you, Tara and there you go
It doesn’t matter now I know
And everyone tells me so.

The love of my life
You were so bright
You made me believe I had been half-living in the blind
You read my thoughts and cleared my mind
You knew me without me having to speak my mind
“No, darling, not a word, not a sound, for I hear you just right.”
It’s amazing, isn’t it?
The little bubble we live in
We never had to answer to nobody
Is that right?
It’s way too high, where we are now
I’m letting go
I’ll land on the pavement, falling nicely into neat pieces
Will you still recognise my face?
Please still say hi
Don’t leave me in my blood, hanging dry

Sometimes I may still hear myself cry at night
It isn’t a sign
It’s just a manner of life
Just me learning to say goodbye
A behaviour so natural to me it felt like it’s time I get it right
No, I don’t wanna slow you down
I want you to take your time and do it right
So when you’re gone
You’d really be gone

I’m letting you go now
Don’t be afraid
You will be safe
In a place I’ve created in my heart with the will of my mind, the power of our once glorified life
I’ll never forget you, the love of my past life

Now fly.
