To Me

a blue and black butterfly is what you are to me
a picture on a card i take out to see
when i'm with you, you flutter inside my head
butterfly wishes and dreams are what i'm being feed 
and when i open your precious note
with craving i read the words you wrote
a declaration taken from dreams to hope
and a signature at the end 
codifying what was wrote
such small letters, a weakness to me
something to protect i can clearly see
something that i needed from someone like you
a need to be needed from a friend so true

love john
