Butterfly Love
Love seems an illusive thing,
chased after and lusted for.
It's a game of challenge,
tender hearts to explore.

That first encounter,
so exciting, fresh and new.
You close your eyes and jump,
it's all your heart can do.

Yet love is like a butterfly
fluttering to and fro.
One can only watch in sadness
as it spreads it's wings to go.

That trembling excitement
can only last so long.
One day you wake and realize
it's flown away and gone.

Love's tender butterfly wings
carry it soaring on the wind,
searching out a new heart
to invade and break again.
