You were born with a soul that longed for change
I was born to keep things the same
For so long I kept you
A bird in a cage
Lovingly cared for
Knowing someday I would have to open the door
Knowing you would see no point in coming back
I want you to know
That if you ever decide to return
There will be a place for you
Nothing changes for me
But everything changes for you
And if I am just a footnote in your glorious life
I hope you remember me fondly
What a beautiful, poignant poem! I especially loved this image: “And if I am just a footnote in your glorious life.” Thanks for sharing!
