Winter Butterfly

Seasons changed while you stayed the same
Consistent
Fluttering in the distance
The instant I saw you
I thought it was a game
I was quick to accuse my eyes of lies

It was only you

I held my breath
Terrified I would blow you away
Mummified I stood still
Fighting the urge to chase
The need to fill my chest with spring

Thats when you stopped
And I let myself admire
My heart's desire
Etch each wing in memory
A reminder that winter doesn't always have to be the death of me
A souvenir
A treasure after looking for warmth in different places
You draw me near
No matter where the sphere we're on faces
