Wanderer's Love

The first time I saw the sea, it took my breath away.

The first time I saw the mountains, I was not okay.

The first time I crossed borders, I felt free.

All the times I got lost I discovered the real me.

I am a wanderer and I don't believe in happy endings.

I don't believe there will be a prince defending

Me from dragons, saving me from forbidden towers.

Honestly, I don't even expect to get flowers.

I've learned to be on my own, but I'm not alone.

I live in the moment, I don't have a steady home.

I know all things have an end, they don't last.

I will not live forever, I have to live fast.

I take risks, I swim, I get up and I fall,

I feel I don't want to ever reach the shore

And I feel like I have to open my ribcage

Let my inner eagle fly, before it dies of age.

You have to realize that I can't be steady.

I can't give you calm life, I'm not family-ready.

I will not live in one place, I cannot stay,

I need a person with whom I could run away.

So you see: it's better if you forget me now,

If you are not ready to run with me and I vow:

I don't want to hurt you. Just hurt me - leave.

I'm used to this you know, it's part of the deal.
