''When you feel like there are butterflies in your stomach, that means you're In love.'' They say. 
I've been living my life believing in this thing, as I did feel the exact thing in every relationship that I had in the past, to the point when it has become the sole signal for me to say ''Ah, yes. I absolutely am in love.'', that if  I don't feel it at all, then I would feel like it's really not meant to be. 

Being able to feel those butterflies always amuses me. I would even describe it as something magical. It is more trustworthy than a Tarot card or your friends' opinion of who should be the one you seek. lol

But are those butterflies really always reliable?
What if I no longer feel them for someone I'm in love with?
What if one day I realize that they're gone for good?
Does that mean that I've already fallen out of love?
Or am I just creating my own description of it?

I am Cassandra Gale Martin, and this is my story of how I lost myself while I seek for the lost butterflies.
