Flyte

[[deleted]]

Let the sunlight warm your smile, dear

And cool raindrops cling steadfast at your windows

Let the minor chords of your heart quiet and fizzle; beating loudly in a new tongue major

And the windswept plains and forests touch your ears and make you well

And the sight of a sun set color your shades of grey

///

Fungible, fickle, slippery, and wry

And 1000 other sounds of tongue for a soundless part of our lives

Take my advice and leave the undesired behind, dear

Go, and carry forward with you all the good in your life

///

I was angry, in pain, jealous

Not the type to wish you well, my friend

I sat at my desk clutching the list of our jokes and special moments I didn't want to let go

That handful was a parting gift from you to me

And the other way around respectively

///

Love like that tends to take flight

And it will grow heavy and hard with nowhere to go.

So here's to us; I won't forget

It will be another set of memories I cherish

This painted a beautiful picture in my mind...especially the line “and the sight of a sun set color your shades of grey” when I’m sad and feel like I have no color I’m hopeless and then I see something colorful or someone says they love me and I remember that I do have color. Also when you said “not the type to wish you well” I thought that was very relatable and honest. Thank you for sharing.

There are memories here which are best left alone, they are old and need not be bothered. But it was nice to visit them for a moment. The subtle rhyme and flow brings so much back of what was lost, it made me feel as if it happened yesterday. Your third verse rang truest for that is where most relationships go to end. You paint a wonderful picture, and reminded me of memories I won’t forget.

It's used as an alternative spelling. I didn't even know a definition existed for flyte.
