A Butterfly Should Never Die

A BUTTERFLY SHOULD NEVER DIE I am without anything now that I’m not with you And Lord knows I miss the taste of your smile I miss a perfectly designed dream come true Because you made mounting a mountain seem a mild mile You gave me butterflies and lightning bugs as a gift Because of you the morning wasn’t agony anymore It didn’t matter if I worked in the day or the midnight shift When I returned you would be there with a smile at our door Ain’t nobody’s business how deeply we loved one another But they could could tell in our eyes and the way we held hands Ain’t nobody’s business how I loved you, not even my brother While I kissed you under the elm tree in the peaceful place it now stands When you used to approach me it would make my heart race Now that I’m without you I want to know exactly why And it’s difficult when I need one not be beget your emphatic embrace So now you know from whence comes my woeful wish to die © 2011.….Phreepoetree ~free cee!~
