You were made of crystal

And I, of glass

Both so fragile

That the wind blew us apart

And we broke

So far apart were the pieces

That we were never really whole again

Were we?

Now I'm tracing the blue veins that show through your skin

Telling you how valuable this life really is

You don't seem to believe

And I don't understand

You say you don't want to be here

But if not here, where?

Where could you possibly go,

And what if I can't find you there?

There's a cool autumn breeze

And I'm trying to tell you all the reasons why you should stay

You tell me it's your time

But I don't know what that means.

Aren't you scared to go on your own?

You tell me it's your journey

That you have to do it alone

But what could you possibly do without me?

Where could you go?

It's raining now

The kind of rain that makes you think something sad sad should have happened

But what happened wasn't sad

Not really

It was beautiful and tragic

I understand now,

Why you had to go on your own

My own hope is that you are where you want to be now.

You were made of crystal

And I, of glass

Both so fragile

That the wind blew us apart

And we broke

So far apart were the pieces

That we were never really whole again

Were we?
