Butterfly


You're like a butterfly

So fragile

So beautiful

I feel like I could break you 

I feel like you could fly away

In the blink of an eye

I could lose you.

 

But you are just a butterfly

You are just so beautiful

And I am strong, I will protect you, 

Even from myself.

And if you fly away

I will cry, but I won’t chase you

If being free makes you happy

So be it.
