the butterflies i believed were long gone

the butterflies I thought had long died

had really just learned how to hide

and as the years passed

like us, they found their way to last

and when I saw you again they returned with a vengeance 

I accepted the feeling and I made my penance 

you asked if anything is new

and we pretended, as we do

that I could have been doing anything but waiting for you

this will be unwavering and uneasy
cause with you i'll say anything, and you'll take it with stride
and never, ever walk away from me
