Moments before I close my eyes I think of you,
And the beautiful memories we share.

I know you’ve felt like a caged bird for so long,
And now that you’re flying away,
I often fear that you’ll stray too far,
And forget who you truly are.

When tears are about to flow from my eyes,
I recite a prayer just for you,
And I instantly feel grateful for all these memories.

For the innocent laughter that has brought us closer together over the years,
That’s when I instantly realize that some bonds can never be broken.

I recite the prayer again hopeful that I’ve let you go in this world,
Ready for whatever comes your way.
