One time I took one of the butterflies from my stomach and tacked it to the wall so that I could analyze it and find out exactly what it is about you that makes them flutter
I found out that they go wild for your smile
That when you talk about things that excites you it excites them
I found out that your walk makes them pound against my stomach begging me to inch closer to you
I found out that sometimes they go wild when just the thought of you pops into my mind
And I realize I wanna write a poem
I type it out on my phone because I do not have enough ink to write down all of the reasons I'm in love with you
But know the butterflies take breaks
Sometimes life gets in the way of their flutter
Know that just because something takes away their flutter that does not mean it takes away my love
One time I took my heart out and tacked it to the wall so that I could analyze it and find out exactly what about you made it ready for another break
I found out that every time you say "I love you" it skips a beat
Giving it less work
I guess like me my heart is lazy
I found out that when you tell me its going to be ok it calms
It tells my lungs it is ok to finally breath
I found out when you call me beautiful The beat of it steadies and it finally feels at home in my body
I find out that it is hard to live without my heart
So I put it back in my chest
I put the butterfly back in my stomach and I text you to let you know I love you
The butterflies go crazy over your response
My heart skips a beat
