take flight

"When will you be home?"
she asks as we watch the planes take off
We both know we have no clear answer to where my dreams may lead
She's watched me as i crawled and stumbled
As a child, she was my world
And now to let me go, I know she bleeds
and yet she says to me

You can fly so high
Keep your gaze upon the sky
I'll be prayin every step along the way
Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart
I love you too much to make you stay
Baby fly away

Autumn leaves fell into spring time and silver-painted hair
Daddy called one evening saying "We need you. Please come back"
When I saw her laying in her bed
Fragile as a child
Pale just like an angel taking flight
I held her as I cried

You can fly so high
Keep your gaze upon the sky
I'll be prayin every step along the way
Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart
I love you too much to make you stay
Baby fly away
ohh... I love you too much to make you stay
Baby fly away

i just found out recently that it's a depressing song
but it holds so much truth about a mother's love.
or just love in general actually.
i think iloveyous are used too generously and too loosely
i suppose its just a social norm that we're used to
it's always nice to express your love and concern
but honestly in the genuine way
i think its used too casually
who are you, in your 18/20 years of life to speak of love?
just a casual thought (:

hun
1. i think its retarded how we're both capricorns, so technically should have similar character traits but we turn out so different. screw the stars
2. no chicken wing or fries or heart attack food for one day.
3. dirty green - reflective of all the soil coloured tops you wear
4. your eyes can talk
5. first three months in your class, when you were sleeping on the table
6. horse - need i say more?
7. would it have made a difference?
