To The Butterfly I Didn't Mean To Hurt

You came so soft, like a whisper with wings
But I moved too fast. 
I Didn't mean to. 
You fell 
Because I forgot how delicate 
Beauty really is.
Now I carry your stillness 
Like an apology in my chest 
If you hear me,
I'm sorry.
And thank you
For choosing me,
Even for a moment
I'll carry your softness forward 
Even if I couldn't protect yours.
