[VERSE 1] I never saw you coming You were simply there A black shape Against the fading light You did not call You did not stay You only watched me For a moment Then you flew away I thought I'd never see you again Yet somehow I looked for you [VERSE 2] And there you were On another quiet day Sitting on the old stone wall As if you had always been there You never came closer I never asked you to But somehow The silence between us Felt less empty You looked tired Your feathers caught the wind And for the first time I wondered What kind of journey Had brought you here [VERSE 3] Sometimes you stayed Sometimes you disappeared For days I learned not to follow I learned not to ask And when you returned I was simply glad You had returned Perhaps that was all You ever needed from me Nothing more... [VERSE 4] You showed me That leaving Does not always mean goodbye That silence Can still carry something That a distance Can hold a presence And that some creatures Are meant to remain free Even when You wish they would stay [VERSE 5] So I stopped wondering Where you came from I stopped asking Where you go I only watch When your shadow crosses mine And listen When your wings disturb the quiet If you come tomorrow I will still be here I won't reach for you I won't make you stay Just fly. Just fly.
