Wings of Freedom

- Fate is decided by God but destiny is the path you choose to get there -

Finally after so long, you have decided to take the first step. A really important first step of your life that will probably allow you to redeem your freedom. These are your wings that I have clipped from the first day and each day I have waited to return them to you...I know that this day will come no matter what you may have said for eternity is nothing more than a myth that people make up to escape reality. Time is the only friend I believe that will reveal all truths.

Learning of your decision, I am feeling both happy and sad. Happy because you can walk your own path, have your own dreams and I am free from my own guilt. Happy because Time has once again proven my prophecy that eternity is a myth. Sad because I have lost my confidence to soar higher and I have to live independently in reality than my own perfect dreamworld. Sad because the fear of crashing will leave me with nothing in the end. But don't feel sorry or responsible because this is my path that I have chosen and I will have to live with it.

When I set you free once, you refused and you chose to walk in my shadows. I accepted it and at the same time, I ventured out to seek my destiny. Along the way, there were numerous setbacks and you were always there to nurse me back to health and boost my confidence. Slowly and little by little, you were eating away my independence as I was only willing to soar that high knowing that you will be there to catch me. As the table of fate turn against me, inevitably, I became the one walking in your shadows against my own will.

Now that you have finally decided to soar once again, I am really glad that you can have your your wings back. Too bad I can't be the person to catch you when you fall but from far away, I will be waiting to see you fly high up there for now it's my turn to learn to fly independently leaving your shadows. I have chosen my path from the start and so should you. Though we may be watching the same sunset in different places, I will be sincerely happy knowing that there is someone beside you to watch that sunset with you. For now, I have yet to find someone to watch that sunset with me and those beautiful memories will slowly fade away as I move on in my own adventure. It is here that I really really bade you the last farewell and say "Thank you for all these while but now it's your turn to dream and soar as high as you can."

- Wings of Freedom -
Tonight I go to sleep with a smile on my face.
And as the stars and the moon shine on me,
I will have the most beautiful dream in years.
For tomorrow I will wake up to greet the sun,
the earth and a brand new day.

Over the horizon and over the mountains,
from a far distance place I will watch.
For today there will be a bright rising star.
From my shadows you will emerge and soar,
Leave the darkness and seek your dreams.

This cage that have imprisoned,
These memories that I have kept,
This reality that I have denied,
and these wings that I have clipped.
I will give you wings of freedom.

Now it's your time to fly
New horizons and destiny awaits you.
Beautiful sunrise and sunset you will seek,
with a new face to take your hand
and walk you to the very end.

And so the story will end here,
with us writing our own adventure.
It will be a really long time,
before we complete our fairy tales,
Until then, I will smile watching you soar.
