Letting you go in the moment I realize that I underestimated the length of the string and didn't hold on hard
enough. Before i knew it, you were gone, gloriously. You, once mine. I watch until you are a speck of color, an accidental masterstroke in an imperfect sky.
As if finally having you wasn't bad enough, now i must pay, with every exhalation, the price of my luck. You owed me a few wrinkles, a couple of scars. Don't you want to leave any war wounds; take a hostage?
You had your sky, but was it not good enough if one end of your cloud was tied to my fingertip? You know when you grower smaller and weaker, you'll come closer? When you feel the air is sucked out of your lungs, it is in my arms you will descend?
I promise there will be regret in my touch. Will I feel like home to you? Will you then remember, the life i breathed in you was my own?
