Author’s Note: The song is O by Coldplay. It’s one of my favorite songs and I highly recommend you listen to it while reading this :)

A flock of birds

Hovering above

Just a flock of birds

That’s how you think of love

He loved you with all his heart, he really did.

You were his light, his love, his everything. 

And you’re gone.

And I always 

Look up to the sky

Pray before the dawn

He swore he saw you sometimes. You had told him when someone dies, they become a small star in the dark sky to give light to the world when it was dark. When you told him this, he rolled his eyes and pushed the comment aside.

Now, it’s all he thinks about. 

'Cause they fly always

Sometimes they arrive

Sometimes they are gone

They fly on 

Memories of you were constant; anything he’d do brought back a piece of you. The smell of pine brought back memories of a short trip to the woods. You were so happy to get away, smiling ear to ear. The soft neighing of horses reminded him of your devotion your stallion.

Sometimes, the memories faded as he drowned himself in alcohol in fits of sorrow.

So fly on

Ride through

Maybe one day I’ll fly next to you

He knew you weren’t suffering anymore. The world had been so cruel and unforgiving to you. You were a pure, innocent creature in a corrupt world. 

But, you were the only hope in his life. And you left him behind.

They fly on 

Ride through

Maybe one day I come fly with you

He hoped to be with you soon. He’d thought about cutting his life short to see you again. 

But he didn’t.

He knew how angry and disappointed you’d be in him. So, he stayed in the cruel world for you. He knew his life wouldn’t last long. But, he didn’t care. 

He had nothing to live for anymore.

Soon, he knew, he would see you.

And, he’d be free with you.

Forever.

Fly on.

Fly on.
