I'm sorry
I really am sorry
I don't know what to say
when i've said it all already
it upsets me when I realized
that i didn't say all that I wanted
that I didn't do all that I wanted to
that I didn't have the guts to just do it
that I didn't have the courage to say that
but know that I wanted to and also that
I really regret not doing what I wanted
because... I realized, that only if I had
done what i wanted to do back then
then things would be different now
much much different then reality
if only i had the courage to
have given you my heart
then maybe we'd still
be together but I
guess that
it's too
late

I feel like i'm a balloon. I'm tied to the ground, forced to follow others on a string, showed off like an item on display and popped with something sharp when they feel like it, bursting me into different pieces. But I wish that like a balloon, they would just get tired of me and let go. Or a gentle breeze would come and lift me out of their sweating, desperate, reaching hands and away from their cold eyes, fake smiles and fake laughter. I wish that I could just float, fly up and away from everything, to the sky--where I want to be. I wish that I could float amongst the clouds, dance in the rain, bathe in the sun and laugh as I watch everything below me slowly fade into nothing but specks of dust.
I wish that I could do that with you
Because you're as tied down as I am, suffering as much as I am but you're not a balloon
You can't dance in the rain because your tears are the rain
You can't float amongst the clouds because the clouds are your thoughts
You can't bathe in the sun because you are the sun
You are also the breeze
The gentle warm breeze, tugging me out of their grasp, freeing me, protecting me, giving me gentle nudges from behind to remind me of what I could do.
How I wish that you were a balloon,
So that we could laugh at everything together
until everyone disappears
and we are the only ones left floating,
a beacon of freedom in the setting sun.
and nothing ties us down anymore.
