I landed upon paths of choices
Yearning to choose the one you treaded upon
But I chose the one that you didn't
Hoping to cross paths with you again.
They say way leads onto way,
But our paths never crossed again.
You trapped me like a butterfly,
But then you let me go with injured wings.
I flew in various ways,
Not knowing how to gain proper flight again.
Dragged myself along until someone else came along.
Took me in their arms but didn't trap me in a cage.
Didn't injure my wings but healed them instead.
They noticed the delicate designs on my wings and nourished them.
And even when I gained flight again they stood by me,
To help me heal in case I got injured again.
Flew above the clouds not once scared to fall,
Because I knew they would catch me if I did.
Felt pure freedom and bliss,
That you could never make me feel.
Held onto me with love
That you could never know.
