We were both different than..

You were a mystery, I was an novice explorer.

Our bond was like child's glue.

In our eyes, it held the world together.

While in reality, it was dried out.

You were like a butterfly; i wanted to chase you; to see you up close.

I was eager to chase, or were you eager to fly away?

Then the day came when i caught you, or you let yourself be caught.

Those were the best times of our lives.

Emphasis on "were". Then it happened.

The chase was finished, we could finally rest.

But as i rested, my eagerness for you grew lacking.

While your colors started to dull and fade.

An existence started from curiosity, twisted into disgust and bathed in resentment.

My love for you was a cage, but can you blame me?

My prized possession. You were all mine.

But you could only be happy beyond the confines of my watch.

Therefore, i release you. May your colors return and shine brightly.

There was time I'd die by your side, to make our dreams become reality.

But we were both different then.
