i remember me and you, the you who is underneath the failing heart, smoke brained; the sister dunking you, the you who took me fishing. and helped me rescue a butterfly on the beach whose wings were wet and was half buried in the sand...you held it in your fumbling hands until it could move again and we watched it fly away. if it wasn't for us, that butterfly would have died. now you are the butterfly; you sit in God's hands.

i remember me and you, the you who is underneath the failing heart, smoke brained; the sister dunking you, the you who took me fishing. and helped me rescue a butterfly on the beach whose wings were wet and was half buried in the sand...you held it in your fumbling hands until it could move again and we watched it fly away. if it wasn't for us, that butterfly would have died. now you are the butterfly; you sit in God's hands.
i've always believed that this person is the person you truly are, no matter how you have treated me. this is for a friend going through a hard time. treat yourself well.
