Butterflies
Butterflies
I sent her an email with butterflies attached, I was hoping she'd open it, her heart would I snatch.
It was ten past four when she read it-after quite a very long day.
They flew out at once with one click of that mouse,
So many included they filled her whole house.
Next, I decided to send her- a very large enveloped batched-
with seeds from deep in my garden-where lies all the weeds and piles of thatch.
She went to her mailbox and saw it was from me,
a smile she flashed, just as quick as could be.
She hurriedly ripped it open
to see just what was inside, she spilled out all of its contents
she poured it out in her hands,
as those butterflies flew -and filled up the whole sky.
Now I gave her a bottle- a message inside-
"now that I've finally found you, please no longer hide"
"I thought of You, quite often, as my life-it has passed. "I felt all my breath leave me- all in one single gasp.
"I - so long ago-just was not the right guy. I lacked life and the smarts to give- my best try."
"I've found you again, lost you- so long ago.
I've learned all my lessons, Please give me a go."
I understand about love hurting you so..
I'm no longer the guy from so long ago...
I know your untrusting and you've a hard row to hoe..
I know that around you ...some speed bumps may grow.
But I work with strong hands and I'll pull you in tow.
I wait for return mail...be it in letter or post...i can promise you one thing..I wait your response.
I wait and I watch as my mail person walks by..
..I await just a message or email or such.
I can't stand here guessing for my time left is short.
I wait for a signal..a sign of some sort...
without it I'm clueless, So i wait your report....
I wait everyday- to check through my mail. I watch- on this screen-till my older eyes start to fail.
And -look to the sky -where the butterflies hail.
Yes, my dear I still wait.....
This is for someone old- someone new -someone needed- someone wanted-
Someone Special...Be Special
You know who you are.
Crazy still
