Everyone.

I search for your face in the crowd,
"I won't love again", I vowed.
I felt a sting of hurt as our eyes met;
I guess that's the lightest punishment I can get;
for letting our love die just like that,
maybe my words didn't come out right;
maybe they were too flat.

Days go on without loving you;
at least that's what I tell myself;
you look happy from my view;
do I look the way you do?

A smile plastered on my face;
a reluctant yearn for a repulsive embrace?
A healing scar left in the past;
a love that came and went;
all too fast?

All my friends are doing fine;
but I'm the only one stuck in time;
I'm the only one crying over you,
and you still don't see the pain you're putting me through.

I don't want to start this letter;
but it's already begun.
I dream of all we could have been;
an act out of a movie scene;
Unlock my heart 'cause you've got the key.

Everyone's happy.
Except for me.

Butterfly

You were like a butterfly that landed on my hand;
you were broken, fragile, and unable to move;
so I took care of you until you could stand.

You looked around, clearly scared;
but trying not to let your emotions show;
You settle down with your wings;
since you've got no other place to go.

Who would have known love would start between you and I?
I never thought losing you would make me cry;
you were the butterfly that had taken away my soul;
I'm trying hard to stand;
but I'm losing all control.

Your wings just swept past me;
without saying goodbye,
you looked at me with sad eyes;
then flew off into the sky.
