I Know This Part

I know this part. 

He flies away. 

But I’ll see him 

Again someday. 

I don’t know when. 

I don’t know where. 

But somehow he 

Will find me there. 

He’ll swoop back in 

To grab my heart 

And hold it close. 

I know this part. 

I let him go 

To find a world 

I’ll never know. 

To walk among 

The beasts and kings, 

Where magic rolls 

And battle rings. 

He wanders long. 

It is his art. 

He can’t stay here. 

I know this part. 

He’ll bring to me 

A tale or two, 

A memory 

Of blood and death, 

Of love and pain, 

Of finding hope 

Where shadows reign. 

And when he does 

He’ll lift my heart 

And hold it close. 

I know this part. 

For when he’s gone 

My love for him 

Burns ever strong. 

He fills my dreams. 

He fills my sky. 

He’s everywhere. 

I never try 

To hold him back. 

It’d be too dark. 

I can’t do that. 

I know this part.
