They say love is the greatest feeling in the world
That it can alter everything around you and even the state you’re in
But then I guess my heart’s still sleeping, dreaming of that part of me
Because I have never felt so close to owning everything while letting go…
No. I am the careful lover. I plan my fears and pain
I do not wish to be emptied by passion, like a rough wave that sweeps up everything in sight
I will let my dreams be my master and my hopes be my guide
And not let a wild-dancing wind get in the way of my ideals, tempting as that thought might be
Because in truth love cannot be caught that easily
Yet her face should not just be pleasant, indeed it should light up our midnight skies
For you should know now that there will be no love without those darling butterflies...
