The Butterfly Season

Over the years, it's really been rough,
A relationship can be hard and tough.

After many nights and disagreements,
I can also recall several agreements. 

The butterfly season comes and goes,
It feels like our love no longer grows.

In those difficult times, I remember, 
a lovely day, the fifth of December.

It was when we made vows, saying I do,
No matter what happens, I choose you.

We don't divorce our parents, why people divorce? A special bon created by God should last lifetime through thick and thin. In ancient India, there was no divorce. Now things have changed. Wonderfully penned.

Very nicely written set of couplets that compliment each other quite well.

If only people could learn how to make rational decisions whilst they are young, e.g., provide teenagers with a cheat sheet to distinguish between pheromones and love. Aloha! Rico

Great analogy there, Alexis. Love can certainly flit like a butterfly, or take flight altogether. ~ On the Wing, gw
