Butterfly Love

I fell in love with a butterfly And painfully set him free. I let him go because I love him so And I know that he loves me You see, there was a window in our cocoon He kept looking out The grass looked so much greener That he longed to roam about. I tried so hard to convince him That it was only an illusion Together we could conquer all And overcome confusion Then one day I broke the window Because I knew it was silly of me To hold on to this butterfly That wanted so much to be free. There was a storm the day he left I gladly welcomed the rain. The raindrops covered my teardrops A painted smile covered the pain One beautiful sunny afternoon My heart overflowed with glee When through my broken window My butterfly flew back to me
