You planted a seed

I wonder whether
if then or never
we'd grown tighter
and more together
to tether each other
would be to smother
together to suffer alone,
but alone recover

to set us free
to be all that you would be
You set me free
but you made your move
to prove to me
that we
oh beautiful beautiful friend of mine
were never meant to be.

I wish you all
and only the best
and peace
and love
and quiet rest
and yet no regret
I'd still say yes

you made me who I am today
I'll never forget  
there ain't no way.

so fly and fly
transformed and sovereign swan
oh beautiful beautiful friend of mine
oh heavenly gentle one

our seed has died
and been reborn
young tender shoots
blazing new dawn
