She told me I was a doctor
You find the angels with broken wings and you heal them, she said
I had never looked at it  that way
I had always assumed I just had a thing for those who were broken
I hadn’t a response to give her
Thankfully she stopped me before I had to think about it any more

I’ve watched you heal and have been wondering for a while now
Who is it that heals you
Who gives you their hand when you need it
Who sings you to sleep when you haven’t rested well for days
Where do your angels go when you mend their wings
Or do they simply fly away

Her unconditional care for me made my heart smile
I had never asked myself these questions
I had always left life up to the good within others
She was one of my angels and she was still by my side
Should I tell her she’s all I needed
Should I surprise her with a kiss and a thank you of my own

She put her hand in mine and spoke softly
Even when you think I’m gone I’ll be right beside you
You have brought me back to life and for that I owe you
I gave her one last hug and responded
And that’s why I have no choice but to let you go
Watching her walk away was the greatest gift I could ever receive

Thank you all for reading this. It was really hard for me to put these words online, but I feel like it’s part of the letting go process. I love TLL and I’m so happy I found it!!!!
