User blog:Forestpaw13/The Day You Became a Bird

Writing is all I've been able to do lately. But this isn't mine, this is a friend's.

Looking at the sky again I'm convinced there is a happier place. But it's so out of my reach, I become frustrated by my failures.

Looking at the night again, I'm envisioning a happier place. What went wrong, and what went right Are behind a closed door- In a day I once lived.

Racing on by Things are left unsaid- It will stay that way. All I want to stay about all of this This frustration and sadness.

The day you became a bird, I lost both my wings and my heart. The wind took you far away, Beyond my own reach. Slowly, I'm losing hope In the world I once saw so brightly.

Waiting for an embrace So that I can hide from fate.

You were once mine<BR> Until your feathers grew.<BR> Isn't that true?<BR> Standing in the wind,<BR> Star-lit tears fall to the ground.

Myself and I<BR> Want tomorrow today.<BR> But you say<BR> "Don't look back"<BR> But that might be the hardest thing to do.

The day you became a bird<BR> I lost my voice and all my strength.<BR> Could we rewrite tragedy<BR> So we end up together?<BR> I continue to hold that hope close to me.

I'm catching your feathers<BR> But even so it's not the same.<BR> I want wings<BR> I'm standing in the rain<BR> But I want to cry

Don't forget me<BR> And I'll do the same for you.<BR> When love is true, you won't leave.<BR> So that's why,<BR> I long for that forever.

Just when did you leave your home?<BR> You're selfish.<BR> Do you know who you left?<BR> How lonely you made them?

Myself and I<BR> Want yesterday today.<BR> Knowing what we were<BR> I can't seem to let you go.

The day you became a bird,<BR> I lost both my wings and my heart.<BR> That love of yesterday-<BR> Why doesn't it follow you when you fly?<BR> I wish I was you.

The day you became a bird,<BR> I lost both my wings and my heart.<BR> The wind took you far away,<BR> Beyond my own reach.<BR> Slowly, I'm loosing hope<BR> In the world I once saw so brightly.<BR> So that's why,<BR> I long for that "I love you"
