So what if I didn't
give her butter flies,
who needs butter flies
if you have real love.

Life isn't a paperback
novel or a romantic
Hollywood movie.
Butter flies quickly
disappear as soon as
they appear but real
love stays.

So what if she could only
pretend that she loved me,
so she could use me. She is
the one who has to live with
herself and look into
the mirror everyday.

So what if I didn't really
love her, but only loved
what I wanted her to be
and what I knew she was
capable of being.

It is all the same, it's all
a big game that we call life.
Two people play their parts
because they think that they
don't want to be alone but
soon discover that they have
to answer to that person who
loves them and and that they
supposedly loved back, so they
go back to being alone.

So what if somebody gets hurt,
for life is full of hurt and lies and
it is how you deal with those false
promises that determines
who you are in the end.

So what if money changes
everything because that's
just the way it is and the
way that it will always be.

So what if we go through life
never really happy but
only pretending to be happy,
for obtaining happiness is
different for every person.

So what if everybody goes
through life with their own idea
of what it takes to be happy and
what they think they are being
told by society as to what
they need to be happy.

Get over it, we are all going to die
and it is up to you to decide how
you want to life your life while
your here on earth until you
get there, happy or not.

So what if you choose wrong,
it's all the same, it's just all
a big game and you must
learn how to play it in order
to survive.                                     Jon York   2011
