Freedom, to run. Freedom, to stop and realize..

Where are you now?
You were here
So alive
And so happy
And now you're gone
Just like that
Like a flash of light
You're gone
Like you never existed
And remain as only a memory
A distant dream
Where has the life in you fled?
Where have you been led?
I want to go there with you
I need to see you again
And not just in a photograph
I tried to keep you from leaving
But I couldn't make you stay
And I learned that the best way
To keep you from going away
Is to let you escape
So that you'll realize what made you stay
And maybe return someday
So roam free
My love
The love you gave to me
Will always live within me
I will never forget
And I will always regret
