Friends with Wings

Before we were both angels without wings
Birds who didn't know how to get off the ground. 
The people others looked past,
They didn't even know we were around.

We stood in people shadows
Sat off on the sidelines.
Distancing ourselves from others
Always saying things were fine.

Now I'm watching you grow your wing
You're learning how to fly. 
I'm standing in your shadow
I'm trying to keep in control,
Trying not to cry.

It's not that your shadow is uncomfortable 
It's not even that it's cold.
The problem is with the way I feel
How I'm suddenly all alone

With your new found talent
You've found others who already knew.
