Flying Together

In the free flight of the two of us,
I realize that your wing it broke,
And you are no longer near as always,
Sometimes ready you fixed it.
Instead, you remain still, distracted by illusions,
Which I know well,
They cannot be confused with love.
Insist.
You stay on the ground.
From afar,
I stay and watch for a while,
I await your return.
It’s just for a quick hello,
I understand that they are not priorities,
Of presence, care and attention.
I look at the sun,
Today is splendid,
Can’t rain on me,
Then I smile and wait.
Who knows youโll soon be able to repair the wing,
And together go back to flying.
Who knows the flight in two will resume,
Happy,
Without any alteration.
With spread wings towards the future,
Of your promised โForeverโ
Maybe!!!
โฆ.
