Learning To Walk On My Own

I've never been to this place before

Where my heart hurts in a new way

It's like trying to become prepared

For a heart break you know that's coming

And I don't know what to think

Not knowing what to say

Not knowing what to do

This is new territory for me

All because you're walking away

Leaving with memories of me

With so much work still to be done

Handing me over to a new soul

Who doesn't know me from anyone

So now I sit and think

Wondering what my life will turn into

Without you guiding me along the way

Missing your words and your time

How is it now in this critical point

I must learn to walk all on my own

Holding myself up with your wisdom

I've learned so much about life

But mostly about me

So in this time of turmoil

My heart sings a new song of sorrow

Looking at the sky in a new land of pain

Trying to understand its color

Which no one has ever seen

Something inbetween being alive and dead

Gone from my life yet still in the world

Causing me to break

The old ways return to me

And I collapse into tears

With a lump in my throat

I'll try to be what you were crafting me to be

Someone who's just ok with who I am

With who I was made to be

Not having to be a great king

Just an average man on an average path

Though in my heart of hearts I know

You created my for greatness

So thanks for the memories

Lets make some more before you go away
