Butterfly

I lay in bed and watched the sunrise today;

I remember how you promised me that we could do that one day. I never really thought about the past until now, I think maybe I only remember the good times, lying in your arms and watching you tell a story, I don’t think I’ve ever loved someone that much.

You gave me toothache, I didn’t understand for ages, but then one day I realized what you meant, I never gave you toothache, I’m sure you said it to make me special, you always made me feel special, even just the way you would hug me, or talk to me when I was with my friends, I’ve never felt like that before, I’ve never loved someone so much.

I remember the time you described me, told me what I looked like in your eyes, and you used such beautiful words I swear butterflies flew from your lips, and your eyes, so brown and deep, I could have stared into them for days, I never thought you would love me, but you swore you did, and the way you stared into me, I knew you could see my heart, I knew you knew me more than anyone else.

Maybe we were young and foolish, I mean I knew it wouldn’t last, deep inside me I knew, but I also knew that I loved you, what I felt, Ohh it was so special, and even now, I have never felt a love like it, but I suppose that’s part of being a teenager young and free, no worries no stress, just drunk on love and cherry wine.

I was going through a box the other day, and I found a photo of you and I, we were sitting on a wall, two stupid kids in love, I remember when it got taken, you whispered something in my ear, I forget now, but it was so funny, and we are in the photo grinning like Cheshire cats, so so happy, what happened, I don’t remember now, I remember the tears though, afterwards, I swore my whole world fell apart, maybe it was my fault, I think it probably was, I remember the guilt, sometimes feelings don’t fade with time, like some wounds don’t heal, and love, love stays in you heart forever.

Even now, I did then, but now more so than ever, every time I see a butterfly it reminds me of you

…Yes you.
