Fly my love, fly from me,
For some loves just shouldn’t be
Confined within my heart by me
Forever yearning to be free.
I opened my heart and in you flew,
Not a home but a trap to you.
And there I held you so closely in my heart
You couldn’t breathe or depart
From my heart in which I held you dear.
I heard your cries, my love, and I opened wide,
The door to my heart confining you inside,
Reached within and drew you out.
And with nary a care or a single doubt,
Held you skyward as you spread your wings
Into the breeze and flew and I then knew
To never lock my heart with love within again
As I watched you soar in joy from me.
And in my heart, that locked and shuttered door
Shall stay open evermore,
That one day, while soaring free,
You may choose to fly home to me.
So, fly my love, fly from me
That one day you may return to me.
