Spending time alone  
keeping the moments
on your own…
…were once a notion
you thought was for sure.
only felling free
with a  sweet free will.
Never having to
make comparisons.

I left terra firma with
no flight plan,
never thinking
who to meet
never caring they
may have someone
to lovingly greet
on their return.

What you knew was:
"I am happy being Me,
not being with you,
dating, making merry, free."

For years, I have
grown,  matured.
So has my age,
my hair, my faith
and my goals.
I still didn't mind,
still didn't care.
I wasn't scared,
nor was I afraid
as I flew in hope
towards you.

But faith was fair:
I found its shade
though I did fear
Your feelings fade.
Yet you were there
and made your way.
You lit the  flares,
along the runway.

I was just honestly
unaware and didn't
fear a crash at all.
But like leaves that fall,
never knowing where to go,
which way to settle on,

Its best that nobody knows.
What matters is:
You were there
where I landed.
