Every day that time goes by I know why I was with you

I was here to guide you into this part of your life

One that I will not be walking with you

I know it sucks for me to say that

But it’s fine

I enjoyed every moment with you and honestly

I loved you for every moment we were together

As the time goes on and as we both grow older

I pray to be just a memory

A sweet season in your life

I wish I could’ve stayed with you

Throughout every stage

But I was here to cherish you and hold you

As you were growing into a beautiful butterfly

I was here to catch your tears, to help you when you fell

And I will still do my best to do that when I can

But now you are not mine, you are free

Free to do what you want and love who you feel

I’ll always wish the best for the butterfly I watched

And hope that she soars high

Higher than the criticism, higher than the hate

And that she will always remember

The times we had together
