Butterflies
Don’t float around
Saying “Look at me!”
Or hope to be found.
They don’t ask for attention
Or to be admired
They won’t seek recognition
Or beg for your desire.

Their patterns stand out
Their colors shine bright
And without even trying
Their wings catch our eyes.
But it doesn’t matter
If we’re here or gone
Or if their beauty is noticed,
They’ll fly on.

I won’t ask
Won’t beg, won’t seek
Anyone to
Admire me.
My colors will shine
Even if they’re not awed
So despite recognition
I’ll fly on.
Sorry, I love you
I didn't plan
To fall for you.

Sorry, I love you
I know it's a bother
So I'll never say it to you.

Sorry, I love you
Everything would probably be better
If I didn't.

Sorry, I love you
If I could stop it
Then I would.

Sorry, I love you
Why does it have
To be you?

Sorry, I love you
I'll put these words in a box
And hide them far away.

I love you
Is the three words,
Which I will never say...
