A Songbird's Flight

When you feel like I am drifting away-

Like a sailboat idle on the sea,

Just know that you are the wind pushing me.

 

When you think I am not the same as I was before-

As if I changed in the blackness overnight,

Just know that you are the one who acted as the sunlight.

 

When you say that all I am doing is shutting you out-

Like I somehow built a door and closed it tight,

Just know that your accusations are not always right.

 

When you start to believe that I am gone for good-

As if I were a flighty songbird singing to you in the sky,

Just know that you are the lighting in the rain clouds that cued my goodbye.
