There are things you cannot force
Things you cannot earn
They must be given from the source
These things you cannot learn
A connection between souls
As precious as is rare
like a spoon for a bowl
Completion when you’re near
There’s things in life I can’t explain
like a language from within
Sometimes these things can cause us pain
They cast out where we’ve been
The energy ‘tween you and I
Requires we go west
but I’ll understand if south you fly
back to your prior nest
There are things you cannot force
At most you can inspire
Sometimes the ending is remorse
We're strengthened by the fire.

You're right, knowing what inspired this gives it a totally different feel. Beautiful piece.
