Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions... 

NEVER  LET GO

My tiny feet in tiny steps hop

My eyes dancing with the green balloon atop

I run with the wind… clutching its thread tight

It follows my laughter, bouncing light

I see it stretching towards the deep blue sky

Take me up too, I cry, for on the clouds I want to lie

 As I look at the sky to choose my cloud…

The thread wriggles out and I scream out loud

I see my green balloon flying away from me

Why didn’t you take me too? …to the clouds I wish to see….

You go further away; I stare with my hands apart   

Waiting for you to come back, this time I know I won’t let you go

My cheeks are wet; I wish we never had to part

How I wish, you would never let go.

Lost among the strangers crowd, my anxious eyes searching to see

And then I see you smiling, your arm stretched out just for me

I leap ahead as I wonder, without you what was I…

Paired as the little lily enriched by the colorful butterfly

We talk, we laugh…in every season by me you have stood

You understand me only as a best friend would.

The tiny lily cannot hold, away with the gusty wind she blows

Away from the colorful butterfly she has to go, her helplessness no one knows

I don’t want to leave, with you I wish to stay

I have no choice. Away we part towards the end of the day

You go further away; I stare with my hands apart

Waiting for you to come back, this time I know I won’t let you go

My cheeks are wet; I wish we never had to part

How I wish, you would never let go.

That divine day … I found love when I found you,

I found new meaning; I was born again bright and new

When you held me in your arms, a hundred lives in that moment I would live

To see you smile and to drown into your eyes, my whole world I would give

But then you pull away, saying another path you need to walk

I stand there unreasonably waiting but only silence waits to talk

As fast as I can I run ahead

Hoping to forget everything you did and said

Alas! It’s not the answer to my queries

For how could I outrun my own memories?  

I walk the street clinging on to broken pieces

The harder I try to straighten them out, the thicker the creases

You go further away; I stare with my hands apart

Waiting for you to come back, this time I know I won’t let you go

My cheeks are wet; I wish we never had to part

How I wish, you would never let go.

Her tiny feet in tiny steps hop, into my heart she looks with a smile

She hands me back my green balloon; I go back again down that mile  

I clutch the thread tight afraid to lose it again.

I hear her say, it will never let go. You will feel no pain

For it is your dreams, it is a part of you

It will reach up to the clouds and beyond to the shining stars bright as new.

A tap on my shoulder I turn to see

My best friend smiles, stretching out her hand for me

I hold her hand tight afraid to lose her again

She says, I will never let go. You will feel no pain

For I am your trust, I am a part of you…and

In every season, for every reason you believe… by you I will stand.

I see my love walking back towards me

Into his arms I rush, he holds me and lets me be

I hold on tight; I don’t want to lose him again

He whispers to me, I will never let go. You will feel no pain

For I am your love, I am a part of you

You will find me in every beginning to give you a meaning pure and true.

With light footsteps I walk ahead with the change in tide

Because now I know, I will always have you’ll by my side.

Because now I know… you will never let go.
