To The Ones I Walked With

To The Ones I Walked With
I didn't move on to leave you
I left you to move on
It's not from hate of the dirt's kind warmth
that I chose to grow
toward the hot blinding sun
And I didn't die and sprout wings
and fly away
out of hate of the caterpillars
Not the one I was
Not the ones that I was with
And maybe you have your wings too
And maybe you've ascended to the sky too
But that's the thing about the sky though
There's just so much sky to fly through
And even though our paths diverged
before we made it
I thank you for the time you spent by my side
walking me home
Because that's all we can ever do
Walk each other home
for a little bit
Home to the bright blue sky
Where souls glide and fly
Free
What do you think?

And even though our paths diverged before we made it. It is heartbreaking and true at the same time. I loved the poetry.
