You don’t need me anymore Now you’re ready to fly It’s time to soar Straight up to the sky Take the time to breathe
Although he’s gone He’s never far He’ll always love you Always in your heart Your soul was formed
I’ll fade away Eventually And then When I’m a distant memory I hope you remember me fondly
The days are long Weeks and months even longer The years have gone Have they made me stronger? Have they made me weak?
What is 50? What is there to “celebrate”? What is the “milestone”? That I lived to be 50? I didn’t
Sun, sand, water, fins The joy it all brings The peace that I feel The air is still The sun in the sky
Will anyone ever look at me Like I’m everything? Like I mean something? Will anyone ever want me Like I could be their everything?
Solitude Isolation They hold so much meaning So much pain It’s not as simple as deciding
I’ve been alive for so long and yet, who am I? Do I exist? Am I real? Should I persist?
Beaches and sunsets Sand, and salt water lapping at the shore Seagulls and jellyfish The sound of the ocean
Pins and pricks Jibs and jabs Stabbing pain Stab me to gain Stab me to feel
Peace comes from acceptance With no anticipation There’s no disappointment It is what it is No more, no less
You in my life Is more than I’ve ever had Being here today Is more than I’ve ever had Wanting me to stay
To have loved And to have been loved in return I can imagine Would be something that would burn Into your soul
A lifetime of waiting Of watching of wondering When my turn would come I spent my life pondering The answer I know
