Butterflies

I never really felt them before

I met you

I'd been nervous

and anxious before

but this time was different

I felt the stir in

my stomach and

in my heart

just thinking of you

made me smile

and sent a tingle

down my spine

the butterflies inside

would fly

because I knew I had you

by my side

this was the first time

I'd felt this

and from that

moment on

I knew I wanted

to keep them flying

to keep them excited

so thank you love

for freeing my butterflies

and finally giving them

a reason

to fly ..
