You look just as beautiful as the day I met you

If not more

You’ve changed

The time we spent apart

The time you said you needed space

That only made me love you more

All I could see was your cocoon

You looked blank

You looked lifeless

You looked trapped

I wanted to help you

I wanted to rip you out of that shell

I missed you so much

The longer you were in there

The more I worried you would never come out

That’s what makes this so sweet

I can finally see you

Your old self

And your new wings

The way they shine is beautiful

But

It’s hard for me to believe that this is really you

How can I know?

I still love you all the same

This won’t last long

Though

I must go soon

I am still a caterpillar

I have to work on myself now

I don’t want you to go through what I did

I don’t want you to worry about me

So I need my space

See you soon

Maybe my wings will glow like yours
