Release Me

I took you to the place we met and I let you go. I released you into the wind, the bushes and the trees. Today, I watched you fly away, and I hope you are a happy soul. It was so windy and I didn't linger long but I did enjoy the memories and said a prayer for you.

It just seemed so wrong to keep you in the car like that.  And, for so long, too! Now maybe my car will stop breaking down all the time.  I hope you like the place I chose, the place we met, for it released me too. And, I'm sorry it couldn't be in Santa Cruz.  Maybe next life! But, knowing your spirit and all, I just knew I had to set you free.  In the meantime you are free to fly through the air and swirl and twirl any ole way the wind blows. You would like that.  I bet you do like that.  And, we will meet again, my lover, my heart and my soul.  It was just our time and what a time it was, eh?  Next time, we will make some major changes in our decision making processes, though.  You should have let me be in charge all those years, but, no, it had to be your way.  (I'm smiling) Anyway, the next time it won't be so hard.  We learned a lot about difficulties and just think, if we do it right next time, we will have mucho grande time together instead of a mere 16 years.

If you can see the cabin here, I know you love it. Yeah, you would approve. But I won't be here forever.  You know me.  I move about freely.  Maybe not as unencumbered as you are now but close. We always did travel light.

Now, about releases...you have to promise to release me and move on to your new adventure and let me experience mine.  No more bad juju on my ride and stop with the late night visits but thanks for the pennies and the feathers.  I do enjoy those for sure.

So enjoy the newest leg of your journey and I will see you again someday.  I know, I know, "not if you see me first.",  "Write when you get work" and, "I will love you til the cows come home and the wheels fall off."  Well I don't see any horns and the wheels are still rolling.
