A few years later, you were swinging high, pumping your...

I wrote letters

And sent them to you.

Our letters had butterflies

In the corners.

An example of how beautiful

Our friendship was.

But,

Like butterflies

They don’t live forever.

But you went quicker than others.

It’s okay though,

My butterfly

I see you all the time.

In different forms

And I smile

Knowing you still watch over me.

I walk up slowly my eyes alight, my stomach twisting at the sight

Her hair falls down in gentle waves, her eyes could light the sky for days

Her smiles nice soft and sweet, she’s often happy and upbeat

As i walk up to the scary the sight, the butterflies inside me begin to take flight

They flutter they fly, i desperately want to cry

They twist they turn, my unsaid words begin to burn

They’...

Butterflies that follow me wherever

I go

Butterflies that stay with me

Never leave

That’s more than I can say

About a lot of people

Butterflies

With their beautiful wings

For now I am here

But not for too long

I am a butterfly

Making the most of each day

Sometimes it is...
