I picture you in my mind,
Your beauty flourishes in the light
Blindly I imagined I could keep you under glass,
now I understand to hold you I must open up my hands and watch you rise,
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly.
I cant pretend that these tears arnt over
I cant prevent this hurt I’m feeling,
But I will stand and say goodbye, for you’ll never be mine until you know the way it feels to fly.
One day you will land oh precious thing,
And when that day comes my heart will sing,
But until that time I will hold my head high and wish you farewell,
oh butterfly.
