I watched you fall from the deep blue.
Did you hold on as long as you could?
Or maybe you welcomed your flight of descent?
You landed with grace.
I waited, never looking away.
I wanted to capture you, to hold onto our moment.
Moments later, I pulled you in and kept you safe.
In distraction, I let you go.
I walked away in peace, knowing that is what you always wanted.
In grace and gratitude, we part.
