I have healed (pt.1)

It's been a decade since I saw her,

her pictures are all that I'm left with,

but some say she's still there within me.

I've been too busy making her happy,

that I forgot what she treasured most.

She's been whispering recently,

"Free"

So I set her free,

I let her fly

But still she nudged me mumbling,

"Free"

And then she lifted my arms high up,

Made me float high in the sky,

"You be free"

Never have I choked on a cry this rigid.
