Interpretation
be free
She's like a butterfly in mid-July, ready to explore the world and try new things. She's restless, always looking for something more, something beyond what she already has. She possesses a mind that can't be tied down or satisfied for long. The narrator has tried to keep her happy and make her stay, but he can't replace the certain look on her face that tells him she's ready to leave. She has no rhyme or reason for her actions; she follows her own desires and is always looking for what lies beyond the horizon.
The narrator understands that she doesn't need him as much as he needs her. He knows that if he had to, he would leave himself. He even understands that she might love another man, but the only reason she ever leaves is because she wants to be free. She wants to sail off on
any old wind that blows, without any restrictions or ties holding her back. She wants to explore and experience new things, even if it means leaving behind what she already has.
