Love is like a butterfly A butterfly landed close by. She smiled and kissed me as she looked into my eyes. Somewhere in the afterglow she became the most beautiful woman alive. We were so close for awhile and now so far apart. I'd be lying if I said she didn't break my heart. The truth of the matter is butterflies don't always stay. Almost anyone can tell you they simply fly away. So I will cry as I miss her. My love will slowly die even as I yearn for what we were. Seems the only thing I won't be doing is kissing her. Deep in my heart I know I have to let her go. I must say goodbye. Why? Love is like a butterfly. Jameslee@January04,2000 |

Nice comparison James they are such beautiful little creatures but for sure they don't stay in one place very long.The other sad thing is they don't live very long either....oh well here I sit waiting for the next butterfly... good job James! Creative thinking! |

James~  Butterflies are meant to flit across the blossoming of our hearts~ In beauty remembered, long after they've fluttered by. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Another one that touches the heart with sadness my friend. Be thankful that you were able to hold this butterfly for the time that you did and try to enjoy those good memories. It is hard to sometimes but you yourself will be soaring soon I know just as the eagle would. |
