10. Flower & Butterfly

When I woke up, my surface
was a forest of flowers blooming in profusion
I had white wings and long extending antennas

A single red flower casually caught my attention
It was my first taste of honey
and it travelled through my body

Before my heart could be read,
I spread my wings and fluttered and went up into the sky

I want you to look at me
I will never fully become your possession
I learned about my instinct to move
Try and catch me so that I won’t fly off somewhere

I don’t want to let go of your hand
If it’s about having a partner, rather than chasing
I’d like being chased more
No matter how much I love you

I was supposed to know that
But before I knew it the tables were turned

My eyes won’t project anyone else but you anymore
It wasn’t supposed to be like this
It’s even starting to disturb my sleep
My heart wants to be with you
It grows to want you more and more

Without even waiting for the morning light
with the support of a small ray of moonlight
I head towards you

I want you to look at me
I will never fully become your possession
I learned about my instinct to move
Try and catch me so that I won’t fly off somewhere

My eyes will only project you and no one else
It wasn’t supposed to be like this
The things I’m thinking in my head
can’t come true in my heart
The story of a flower and a butterfly
