Solo Flight - ArlenaZara
I used to think alone
was lonely
Now I know it's just a room
with space to stretch my arms out wide
and let my
dreams bloom
I booked a ticket to a city
I'd never been before
packed my bags on a Tuesday
and walked out my own door
I ate dinner by myself
at a table meant for two
and for the first time in forever
I didn't miss you
I'm learning who I am when no one's watching
I'm learning what I want when no one's asking
This is my solo flight
my own two wings
I'm not waiting for permission
to see what the sky brings
I'm not lost, I'm just finding who I am without you
This is my solo flight
and I'm learning to love the view
I bought flowers for my apartment just because I wanted to
I dance in the kitchen at midnight with no one to answer to
I found a café where the barista knows my name and my usual order
I'm building a life that fits me, not trying to fit into corners
I'm learning to be still without someone beside me
I'm learning to feel full when there's no one to hide me
This is my solo flight
my own two wings
I'm not waiting for permission
to see what the sky brings
I'm not lost, I'm just finding who I am without you
This is my solo flight
and I'm learning to love the view
There are mornings I wake up and I don't check my phone
I just lie there listening to the quiet of my own home
There's a peace I never knew
in the space I used to fill
with worrying if I was enough
Now I know my own weight will be
I'm not waiting for a text, I'm not waiting for a call
I'm not waiting for someone to catch me when I fall
I'm learning to stand on my own, to trust my own two feet
to know that alone doesn't mean lonely
it just means I'm complete
This is my solo flight
I built these wings myself
I'm not looking back, I'm putting my heart on the shelf
Not waiting, not hoping, just living my life through
This is my solo flight
and I finally love the view
I used to think alone was lonely
Now I know it's just a room
with space to stretch my arms out wide
and let my dreams bloom
Solo flight
Solo flight
I'm flying on my own and I've never felt more at home
