i'm waiting to fly
to spread my wings and soar
far above everything i've ever known
fly to my place in the sky
in the big wide world, surrounded by lights
will i make it? i don't know
but i've got to try

i've waiting to fly
away from these people, this place
so near and dear to my heart, but not
most i never will see again
but those i will miss
those who will form a void

love and loss
will it happen to me?
probably, but i don't want to stop it
commitment is crazy right now
marriage so far away
despite everything i want to keep him in my life

will the inevitable happen?
will we cause each other pain?
letting this distance further separate us
making us stray from something so wonderful
because we need to satisfy this need
this longing
for a companion, to be loved
we love each other, but is it enough
is it ever enough?

relationship going nowhere
passion subsides
love is still there
perhaps more than it ever was
friendship growing
does it outweigh the romance?
forced to go farther
wanting to hold back, but am i jeoprodizing this
no...hold firm
too much put into physical
overrated
but yet, its stopped

i'm flying away
i can't stop it
i don't want to stop it
i'm leaving
and leaving him behind
for better or for worse
gone
