You were a balloon
and I was a kite
living with only the sky as our audience
You, a balloon
overcoming obstacles,
fueled with motivation
propelled up, ever so effortlessly
I, a kite
awaiting a breeze to guide my motion
powered by wind and willpower alone
Nevertheless
we conquered clouds
free to roam, or so I thought
rather, free to float
until my string ran out
I remained tied to the ground
as you continued to rise
looking down at me from above
darling, you could only go up
nothing could be done
as I watched you go
