      I can feel myself, I’ve grown beyond our love now.
      I’m taller by far than I used to be
      the world and all its fears no longer scares me
      and I can feel myself running free
      I’m no longer bound by love to be a leaner
      I make my way by knowing need’s a bore
      she wishes after what she’d like to have now
      but my need is gone and she can’t hold me anymore
      with patient hours I try to reconcile
      the pain her need is causing more and more
      I say I’d like to see her if it feels good
      but her pain is driving her harder than before
      then I think I don’t need to really see her
      when all she wants is to have me as before
      and our hours are filled with such painful struggle
      that I wonder what I need the hassle for
      I’m free and she can’t seem to understand it
      I love her still but now its something more
      she like to own me outright but she cannot
      my love is mine to give, so unlike before…
