She had an explorer's intuition
and a head full of dreams
that would suffocate
in this one light town.
I'd seen it since the beginning
and had to suppress
my selfish urge
to clip her wings
and keep her here.
But even so,
as we said our goodbyes
my eyes filled with hot tears.
I'll miss you so much
My voice cracked audibly.
*Don't worry, Love.
I'm only beginning a new adventure.
Turning a new leaf.
Starting a new chapter.*
I'll be back before you know...
And with that she was gone.
I waited until her plane took off,
and thanked God that I knew her.
