Fly Away, My Dear

Don't give up and look through my eyes.

Fly Away, My Dear.

 

You fold up your dreams like paper,

You don’t even give them the chance to fly.

Your fears delude you, you can’t see how irresistible you are.

Don’t try knocking on a hollow tree,

All you listen to are the echoes you wish to escape.

You speak of sweet sorrows.

And look at decay and refusals of love.

But you don’t see.

So please, see me.

Talk, don’t just speak.

Hear, don’t listen.

Inhale, don’t just breathe.

Feel, don’t just touch.

Grasp, don’t just hold.

Hope - don’t run away.
