#I see you staring off into space, your trajectory
aimed towards a specifically-patterned constellation.
I am only the launch tower--
providing stability, support
aiding in your refueling and the replenishment of your supplies.
Star-patterned destinations are your calling
and, I am just the launch pad,
and its ever accommodating tower.
They say that a rocket expends fifty
percent of its energy just clearing the tower;
*It is the final destination:
not the clearing of the tower,
that your heart needs most*
and holding you firm, I know that as you lift off
I will even now be tempted to
reach out with one of my ever-sustaining arms..
that I may touch your gorgeous tail section
as you fly clear of me
But even in the doing of that,
I would change your trajectory
and the constellations would never come to know you
nor you, them
I am just a tower, love..
a platform, constructed solely
to aid you in your newfound flight into freedom:
a tower to love you
and hold you steady,
with a finely-built strength
until you are finally clear
even, of me.

But I see you now, yeah, I see you
and release me now, kinda like dreams do
And I see you now, was hard to see you
Just don't forget to sing,
remember everything;
you won't go lonely.
