Butterfly Love

She stares at a grave marker A solid marble angel holds a plaque that reads "With the wings of an angel I am set free" With a tear she remembers She remembers the night she heard those words As they spilled from her lover's lips That was the night her life ended The night he ended his misery and left this world That night she decided she would follow him She whispered in his ear these words that still ring true "Love is like a butterfly Hold it too tightly it will be crushed But hold it too loosely and it will fly away So before you love first learn to hold a butterfly" Now tears stream down her cheeks As she whispers so quietly only her angel can hear "You will forever hold my butterfly" With a tear she closes her eyes never to open them again
