Fly Free, Butterfly

Gorgeous little butterfly, trapped in your cocoon If I show my love right now, you might never bloom You showed me you are strong today, and you showed yourself But watching you allow abuse is no good for my health While you build your self respect, you must do it alone Because I feel you'll never heal if I make my feelings known It pains me not to hold you, try to help you, call you mine But I let my boundaries known and you still need a bit more time So I told you, flutter butterfly, take flight and now be free This breaks my heart but it's your choice if you fly back to me.
