caged

I'll never forget the first time I met her. She was sitting at a table in the plaza of a shopping center and by my own dumb luck I just happened to fumble upon the section of the world that contained her at the moment.

I think it's safe to say I loved her from the start.

I'll never forget the last time I saw her. Her face full of tears as she said "Goodbye" and boarded the airplane on a flight away from my life to some college to make something out of herself.

as sad as I am over her departure I'm relieved she left because if she hadn't used those wings to fly away from me I would have changed my mind and I would have cliped them.

i guess some birds are meant to fly while others are meant to be caged left to wait.

i think i know which one i am.
