The Flower & The Butterfly

Small edit 3/22/2021

- The Flower & The Butterfly -

I will continue to look for your face

in the passing of time,

and think of your smile as the 

label to my fondest thoughts.

Know my shoulders won't fault

to be there for your tears

when you remember

how grounded 

my safety net can be.

Because 

you are my childhood,

my living past

whom I hide in a box

still underneath my bed

to pull out whenever 

I get lonely.

And when our 

common ground 

rifts us further and 

further apart,

I know we worry not 

of losing each other

in the fading horizon of life.

For you are the flower.

and I

the butterfly-

And I shall come to you always

as long as your petals are 

open for an embrace.
