Butterflies

There comes a time, someone comes into your life
This person is not just anyone, they aren’t like anyone else
It feels different, the feeling can be hard to explain
It’s not as simple as stating a one word emotion, the answer

This person comes along and your whole word changes
When you’re with them, you wish time would stand still
Despite knowing that it actually passes faster, parting ways sooner
Nothing they do changes how you feel, it may hurt, but ultimately remains

You, gorgeous in appearance, flawless in design, immaculately beautiful
You, smart in body and mind, silly in heart and soul, an aura of brilliance
You, agitating and frustrating, annoying and irritating, yet I cannot stay mad
You, the girl I’d give anything for, life, status, money, all pale in your comparison

Me, unable to hide from you, you see right through me, without effort
Me, heart screaming for your body, your touch, your love, your heart
Me, defenceless against your onslaught, never able to resist you
Me, always here, beside you, ever waiting, ever loving, regardless of your path

It’s more than just a four letter word, though it is the single greatest emotion
It’s more than gifts or daily expressions could ever hope to accumulate to
It’s more than an item to bind us together, though it could keep us that way
It’s more than life itself, the experiences it brings and the life we would share

When I’m with you, nothing else matters, all problems cease to exist
I could have nothing, as long as I have you, nothing compares
Even death’s icy, clammy grip could not seek to cleanse me of this feeling
With you, everything is perfect, with you, even now I still get Butterflies
