Please Don't Fly Away

Zig zagging in the sky much more precious than a fly.

Landing softly, fluttering their powdered wings like they are dancing to a song with the forest breeze

There are all different types of butterflies...

but when im around you I feel like I've eating one alive

My stomach fills with a whirling motion

My words termble off my tongue

So I try to remain quiet but then you touch my thigh

Instantly my heart becomes quicksand and I sink into this trance

You have the capability of venerating me

It's an overwhelming feeling I feel

I'm just sitting here still

I know these feelings are real.
