Flaws In the Design of a Butterfly

Belle, so starry; a growing mystery but you always meant love to me a butterfly, please remain but I'll let you fly away when you're ready It's suddenly slipped my mind what I'm supposed to say this life is a roller coaster, an unpredictable disaster but that's irrelevant to me I'm more concerned with how much you mean to me My words are absent sense Our sun has set; will it ever rise again my head is raised high with the hopes I've created but it appears to just be the same as the lion upon its prey Ended...ended...does it really have to be this way the rain has yet to befall this day but still a stinging, worried tear slingshots through my mind I may feel the swift outcome of emptiness of again tasteless, better, dull, ageless, without warmth may you desire to disappear Selfish, I realize how deep my thoughts persist but two years time has intertwined my path with you the reason I dare not question or you will vanish from me I am aware of the flaws in my design and I've come to terms with that I'm useless a useless anchor in your path, but you're an anchor in mine How long will this hold, I'm begging longer than it's meant to I've savored every moment, making it a permanent memory a butterfly eclipsing a rose petal, simply breathtaking and breathtaking has it been to spend every moment with you and remaining in my mind are the words of goodbye in case I need them but I refuse to say them just let me hold your hand one more time and feel your warmth against my stilled beating heart
