Butterfly

You come and you go
Like waves on the sand

It's like that magical moment
when a butterfly lands
You'll kill it if you try to hold it in your hands

Like a flame without oxygen
Trapped you can't breathe
So I'm never mad when you have to leave

If you like a flower you pluck it
If you love a flower you let it grow
I can't even begin to describe how deeply my love for you flows

So be free my love
Spread your wings
You need your freedom like all beautiful things

I'll be here patiently waiting
for the butterfly to land
for the waves to touch the sand

For that beautiful moment when your hand touches my hand
