She hath wings

You cared – really cared;

You made me feel like a princess

When everyone else passed me by.

But you were not to be mine.

I watched you from a distance

Then hid myself away;

I couldn’t bear it any longer.

You had moved on,

But I was still stuck in yesterday.

You looked after me,

Like a guardian angel,

Pleading with God on my behalf-

Pushing through my walls.

Now to forget you-

How to forget you?

It is tough, but I must;

Content in who I am,

Standing strong,

In the light of the One who

Calls my name.

You’ll go your way

And I’ll go mine-

Perhaps walking together

But different journeys;

I’ve always got your back,

But your heart I release like a dove.

Now to forget you…

The one who inspired me to believe in love again.
