Butterfly

The love you gave me will keep me strong,
Through the long trail I need to travel.
We shared so much yet never enough,
Our times together were always special.
When you went away and left me here,
I felt so alone I couldn't go on.
The memories we made of the times we shared,
Brought so many tears and so much heart ache.
I never felt so much alone or so far away,
Closed up in my own little world,
Wanting and waiting to die.
Then those wonderful words you sent to me,
To awaken my soul to live again.
Spread my wings, show my colors,
Open my eyes to a brand new life.
I will soar high above in the skies,
Reaching out to find myself,
Refresh to the life I know I must lead.
Where ever you now are,
Looking down on me,
You will see I am going to be just fine.
I will never forget our life together,
The memories will be just a call away.
Yet I must start anew,
This closed up cocoon,
Has matured into this beautiful butterfly.
