Where did you go, old friend of mine?
I turned and you were gone.
I wondered if you'd ever come back
Or if you had really moved on
Losing my mind, my tender heart
I searched for you desperately
You'd decided to go but I couldn't stop
My life was ablaze with worry
It burned inside me, for many days
This longing to rediscover youth
The days we spent as young children
But now I see the truth
Holding on to you, my shooting star
Will only bring us down
I'd rather be a cosmic angel
Than wear that broken crown
They say that if you love someone
You ought to let them go
So, my friend, you're free from me
The curtain has closed on our show
I'm at peace, watching you fly
I know it's the right thing to do
But deep inside I pray you remember
That I will always love you.
I. Sparrow
