You float
In the air above me
My only friend

I have made my decision
I must
Let you go

And so I do
Unclenching my fist
I watch you leave me

Not a care
In this harsh world
Only flying

Up
Up
And away you go

My eyes follow
As you soar
Like a bird

I can only hope
That your dreams will come true
And then so will mine
