3.2 The ones who run free

Verse 1 - Oreo 1 You were the fire, nine months young Eyes on the world, already gone I tied the leash, fear in my hand They said “don’t worry”, I tried to understand One road, one moment, too damn fast You taught me love doesn’t always last You left too early, but not alone Your sister knew… when you were gone We let you run, we let you choose Freedom’s gift, but nothing to lose Every “it’s safe” can still go wrong Some goodbyes come way too strong We didn’t fail you, we just believed That love protects what love sets free Run free, my love, run free The garden still remembers thee Every pawprint, every scar You are never where we are not You stayed behind, though not by blood You raised the young like fathers should Cleaned their faces, shared their sleep Carried a heart too big to keep You faded slow, we didn’t know One year later, same cold low You laid down soft, like rest was planned Forgot to wake… that’s how you went We count the days, we mark the ground Same place, same loss, same sound No signs, no fight, just quiet air Like love itself was waiting there Run free, my love, run free No fear where you’re meant to be Every shadow, every star You are never where we are not Verse 3 – Finya You followed love, not speed or pride One call, one step, one final ride We thought you’d stay, we were so sure The girls stay close, the girls endure Now you sleep where roses grow Between the ones you didn’t know Your mother waits in silent grief A daughter gone… a broken leaf Run free, my love, run free The garden keeps your memory No road can take what love has been You live in us… and in between
