Walking Away
Embracing Shadows: Love's Bittersweet Dance in Audrey Bussanich's 'Walking Away'
Lyrics
Love can be gentle love can be quiet
Love can exhibit calmness and tranquility.
It can blaze through your veins like electric wire
Love can intensely course through you like electricity.
love can be only a lonely old ghost
Love might only manifest as a solitary, haunting presence.
Seen through the haze of your hearts desire
Observed unclearly through the longing of one's heart.
But all of these things that they say don’t seem to explain
Commonly said things fail to elucidate why departing from someone can be an act of love.
why sometimes loving someone means walking away
Occasionally, loving someone entails leaving them.
The heart can be clear as a looking glass
The heart can be as transparent as a mirror, reflecting another's love.
showing the love of another reflected back
Displaying affection from someone mirrored back.
Oh what do you do when the picture grows dim?
What action do you take when the reflection of love becomes unclear?
And the heart wants what it just can’t have
When the heart desires what it cannot attain.
You can spend your life wishing for things you can’t change but
Longing for unchangeable things can consume your life, but...
Sometimes loving someone means walking away
...sometimes, showing love means walking away.
Love can be brief as a shooting star
Love can be fleeting, like a shooting star.
One that fills you with wonder then falls from afar
One that brings amazement but vanishes from a distance.
But there's nothing more precious worth trying to find
Nothing is more valuable than pursuing a love that endures even in the darkest times.
than a love that shines through the deepest dark
A love that persists through the deepest challenges is truly precious.
When you see the real thing you’ll know it won’t ever fade
Recognizing genuine love that remains steadfast, even if leaving is necessary at times.
even if sometimes Ioving someone means walking away
Despite this, there are moments when loving someone means departing.
