Butterfly

if only i could whisper my secrets to a butterfly
and watch as its wings created hurricanes; proving some crazy chaos theory
the winds carrying my words to your ears
singing you sweet lullabies as you rest your head by an open window

if only that butterfly could tell you of all the ways that i love you
and paint you a picture that you could put on your wall
putting myself on an open canvas
and hoping that you would see me as i see you

if only you would whisper your own words
and send that butterfly back to me
so i could hear your breath in every flap of its wings
and fall asleep as i fall in love with you all over again
