Death/Rebirth

The Death of A Spirit

Its been a while since you took me out riding in the forest
I missed the sun glazing down on our faces
It felt like we were reborn driving all over BC
So young and so stupid with no worries we just left
Ventured into the sun and explored the beauty of Earth
Waking up in hotel rooms, our car, random houses
But waking up together after nights of making love
Of pleasure in the most gorgeous spots on Earth
We were blessed back then to have each other
I sit here at night and reminisce about the good times

I feel lost though, my friend is gone, he left me
I fucked up, I didn’t know to do this right
I look at the sun now and it reminds me of you
In my day dreams you come back
And we hit the road again, once again we run away
That’s what me and you were so talented at
We sure knew how to get away from reality
And we made it magical and unforgettable
But when we had to deal with reality, it didn’t work out the same

And now I still miss you…
I miss your eyes and the way they told me it was ok
I miss the artist that lived in your heart
I miss the man you wanted to become
But that man is now gone, reality took over
The prince charming turned into a coward
He couldn’t carry on the good name

The Rebirth of the Spirit

So after some time the princess found herself
She realized that the sun could be loved just by her
She now understood that she is her own best friend
She was able to hold her own ground and love herself
Now she was waking up alone in strange beds
But other spirits were also around her, just as fanatical
Just as crazy as she’d become, driven and strong
A new kind of strong: A new empowerment
A feeling of pure acceptance and joy
Even alone, a smile creeps up on her face
When she dreams of the adventures to follow
And even independent she knows she will always find friends

No matter whether she ends up travelling alone
No matter if its rain or shine, she’ll keep on going
Because life is too beautiful and too amazing
Because she would rather have someone truly love
Truly care, truly share and truly have faith in
Than lose the most essential part of her existence
Herself and the level of peace she has made with herself
The expectations she’s broken down and thrown away
After all…
You cannot rely on someone else to make you happy.
You have to make yourself happy. Period.
