Learning To Let Go

My helium balloon.
So beautiful, I want to hold onto you forever.
Carry you with me forever.
My lovely red helium balloon.
But I want to see you fly... To Soar.
For you do make me happy as I hold you. 
Admiring your shine, bringing me joy as I watch you float around me.
Sashaying in the wind.
However, I know the longer I keep you on this string
The less you are filled.
Losing you a little at a time.
With less and less chance of you reaching the heights you were meant to.
So I must release...
