The Butterfly

Am I the reason why? Did I really hurt you that much? We fought so much, I wished you'd go away Now I wish you would answer me Was it because I disappointed you? Did you despise me so much? I wonder if you can hear me I wonder if you’d answer if you did I didn’t get to say I’m sorry I hope I get the chance some day I hope you can see this is for you Do you ever laugh like you did? I see you every night in my dreams But instead of you being dead, it’s me It’s painful when I’m there…. I hope it isn't for you I’m so sorry for what I did One day I hope to atone for all my sins Sometimes I doubt I’m worth saving though But while you play chess with God… maybe put in a good word for me? I hope that you are happy there Some day I hope to visit too I’ve loved and hated you at the same time Now I just miss you and hope you’re a star in our sky I’m sure where you are it rains diamonds But it was too early and it was my fault that you died Grandfather, one day I hope to ask you for forgiveness You’re the Butterfly I’ve been dedicated to all this time
