The simple things

It's gone
Memories are all I hold of you
You used to be forever in my arms
Like a butterfly stuck inside a jar
Your vibrant colors coaxed by my glass stature
Breaking apart and bleeding forever after
I never meant to crush your perfect wings
All I ever wanted were the simple things

A kiss to show you care
A promise you'll be there
A perfect life for both of us
A perfect life to share
So spread your pretty wings
And fly away with me

I'm here
Dreaming of your face again
More beautiful than anything
Like a butterfly in the warmth of Spring
You captivate my senses
You leave me nearly breathless
I never meant to steal your oxygen
All I ever wanted were the simple things

A kiss to show you care
A promise you'll be there
A perfect life for both of us
A perfect life to share
So spread your pretty wings
And fly away with me

It seems the simple things are the hardest things to find

I'll kiss you when you're here
I promise I'll be there
But nothing I can say or do will change the way you feel
So spread your pretty wings
And fly so far away
With or without me...
