Beautiful Sadness

If I could tell you that I followed you through the barren land 

The decayed forest, the people less roads.

I have followed you through the heavy wind 

The ruins of the dead and through the void of my heart, 

To see how far I can go 

To explore what I carry for myself

Because only when I can let you go 

I can hold myself stronger 

And through this quest for the ideal soul, which you were to me

I have come a long way with myself 

Through this quest for the ideal soul, which you were to me

I have become one 

The one I wanted to be

I have become one, with the journey and all its atrocities 

I have become one, that may have cost the deepest grief 

The grief that permeates your heart, because you know you need it 

The grief which you embrace with time

The grief which my friend has called to be a beautiful sadness 

Because it teaches you that beauty can be felt with both filled and empty heart
