BUTTERFLIES
A special guy, made me smile and my heart sing
I fell into a consuming love that made me long for his touch
Now time has gone, seasons changed
But still, I have held on to this emotion
Till it has consumed my heart
I have been cocooned in a web of my own making
Trapped in a love that does not fulfil me
Expectations not meet, longing for something
That he could not give me
Now like a caterpillar in a cocoon, I awaken
And break open from the ties that bind me
I emerge, unsure of this new feeling
I feel so free like I can fly
And I do, I soar
I can smell and taste the roses again
I will never forget you
Part of me will forever love you
But I think I have outgrown the dream
Of you and me
A new world awaits me
A dance or two or butterflies
Goodbye, sweet guy
You will always be honey to me
But I can survive on nectar
Goodbye, my sweet
Gone but not forgotten,
I fly soaring among the butterflies.
