Fly My Love

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.
