Maybe if I held onto you so tight you wouldn't leave.
Maybe if I pulled you to my side with enough force you'd stay.
But I was afraid if i held you too tight you'd disappear out of my grasp,
dispersing into a million little butterflies, symbolising the life inside of you.
The life that I lived for.
I was afraid of holding onto you too tight, and you thought my grasp wasn't strong enough.
I loved you so very much,
but you still left,
leaving me the butterflies fluttering in your wake.
