or maybe next week.
freedom from the thundering would've come next month,
or in 3....
but you just couldn't wait anymore.
but what you didn't know is that we were waiting
for freedom too, just like you.
and you thought we'd feel free without you
but we've never felt more trapped.
and just cuz i can't point out the
exact star in the sky that flickered out,
doesn't mean we didn't all notice that
midnight just got darker.
and it seems like the clouds are crying with us.
they are.
and i think the sky wants freedom too
because the winds keep blowing
as if they are trying to escape.
and cuz the clouds can't make up their mind...
rain-snow-hush.
rain-snow-hush.
rain-snow-hush.
the weather reflects your emotions
the things you've felt but that we've never seen until now.
you're an angel now so the weather doesn't hurt you anymore.
freedom was only 3 months to graduation and summer.
freedom was only 6 months till fall semester.
you're free from us and this world
but we've never felt you so close.
we told you "we see you" and though you didn't believe us,
we'll never look away now.
because we still see you as you reached the ultimate freedom.
we'll miss that star in the night sky that dimmed out
but we know the embers created a universe
too grand for human eyes to comprehend.
you taught us to always forget about the hail storms
and to always remember the sun.
you taught us to not only "see" the stars
but to know know each and every single one.
you reminded us that feeling trapped is no fun.
you reminded us that freedom and release need to come
in God's time...cuz less people are hurt that way.
i don't know what color your hair shimmered in summer
and i don't know when you hit your growth spurt
but i can "see you".
no, i can "feel you".
i can feel your spirit, and once i buy a telescope
i'll see that universe the embers created.
and when the roaring winds and pounding rains
make us feel trapped,
we'll remember you.
and remember how all you wanted was simply freedom.
