i never looked back
but now i wonder if you stared longingly at me
or did you turn your back too
did you run after me
if you did, how come you were never able to catch up?
i told you that i lived to fly
that i wasn't the type to be cooped up in a cage
i lived to soar across the horizon
i love to feel the wind blowing through my wings
as i slowly reach the sky
yet that night as i perched by your window
i saw a tear fall down your face
'are you crying for me?' i softly whispered
then you opened your eyes
but stared right through me
it was a long time ago when i was on the exact same spot
by your window, watching over you
and it was a long time after that before i flew again
when i decided to stop flying that night
maybe it wasn't the right time
when i wrote these words down before
i suddenly forget so i end up not writing it at all
but as i write this now
words continuously flow
words that have been longing to come out
words that my pride as an eagle firmly kept
i get ready to leave my perch by your window again
knowing in my heart that you never knew i was there
as is soar across the dark sky that i thought was home
i sadly realized that home was something i have already said goodbye to
sometimes you just have to stop
staring at closed doors...
but what if you just can't help it?
staring at closed doors...
but what if you just can't help it?
