Its strange, you've experienced pain before but this one is different
for the others you could blame yourself
you weren't careful enough
thoughtful enough
but when you know there is nothing you can do to change these current circumstances
you lose part of yourself meant to feel the wind
part of you who want this to end
part of you who want someone to stay there by your side, to wipe your tears, to hug you and whisper that everything's gonna be fine
and even though it isn't fine they will stay by your side
so that you can endure all of this pain together
but there is nobody
so the empty place meant for them remained empty
and so do you
you feel like this empty box of air that cannot feel anything
but you forgot that emptiness makes you fly higher and higher just like a balloon there is nothing to weigh you down
so fly...
