Dragonfly Love
About the Song
Dragonfly Love was born from a quiet reflection on a fleeting connection, delicate, beautiful, and impossible to keep.
Like a dragonfly in the wind, it hovered just long enough to leave its mark.
This song is about learning to love what cannot be held.

Verse 1
You came to me with the wind,
Caught in the shimmer of your light,
My dragonfly love, a fleeting sight,
Hovering on silver lace wings.
Verse 2
I never knew how to hold you,
You slipped between my leaves,
I’m the oak tree, rooted in the ground,
And you’re gone before I breathe.
Chorus
You come with the wind, never asking to stay,
I’m the oak tree, holding my ground.
You belong to the air, always drifting away,
My dragonfly love.
Verse 3
Your stay was a flicker of light,
Yet you left a ring inside my rings,
The quiet air still hums with you,
My dragonfly love.
Bridge
I still reach into the wind,
For a ghost just passing through.
Will you circle back to me,
Or vanish in the open blue?
I’m the oak tree standing still,
You were never mine to hold,
My dragonfly love.
