Butterfly

Won't say anything, not even a word,

Just give you a smile.

I still can’t believe it,

All of this seems like a dream.

I'll try not to disappear.

Is it true? You,

You’re so beautiful that I’m scared.

So Untrue, Untrue you,

Had me dreading for the reality.

How can you be just like a dream?

Will you stay by my side?

Will you promise me?

Hold me close, don't let me slip, I’ll fade if you let go.

I’m scared,

scared of that.

Will you stop time?

If this moment passes

As though it hadn’t happened

I’m scared,

scared I’ll lose you

Butterfly, like a Butterfly

Just like a Butterfly,

You are so beautiful,

I'm scared,

Scared you'll fly away.
