the journey to you
i held your hand
through your troubled walks
i guided you,
encouraged you,
supported you
to become who you are
i wanted you to be who you could be
saw the beauty locked inside your fear
wished for the woman i hoped to love
to be strong enough to overcome
but now the bridge is burned
you stand on the other side
with our history to guide you
for someone else to love
the woman you can become
i held your hand through troubled waters
i walked with you to your identity
and showed you who to talk to
and how to meet your needs
and when you got strong enough
to seek on your own
you left me
new friends, new circles, new adventures awaited
and supported you to be on your own
helped you believe you were better without me
helped you believe you could do it without me
and few but i know how far you've come
the distance you've traveled
the name you were called
or the struggle it took for you to be who you are
and few but i know what it took
to watch you
to push you
to support you
to encourage you
and none but i know the failures
the frustrations
the depression
of having to do so much
so that you could be who you are
so that you could seek on your own
and continue without me
