I reach for your hand
but you have already
pulled yours away
I kiss your cheeks
and you don't move
to kiss mine
the poets often write
maybe in another life
yet it feels like we only
had one chance
and we let it die
Oh god, if only love was enough
remember, my love,
just because they cannot
see your wings
does not mean
you cannot fly
I can see there is no me
on your path forward
you will shine on your own
like the sun, you are
not the moon
you do not need your star
let me love you from afar
let me pray for you
and be proud of you
even after I am long gone
and if you will ever call
my name, you know,
I will come
but you won't
I can sense it
in my blood
I can smell it
in your breath
you are my legend
you are my hero
stay you.
