You, Me, And The Butterflies

Catching butterflies
in a cage.
Watch them flutter
watch me dance.
They have wings
but I can't fly.
I can fall,
but never fly.
In this field
there's you,
me,
and the butterflies.
I twirl in the wind
and you watch me,
like I matter
like you care about...
me?
The butterflies,
            the butterflies
are watching as we laugh.
they'd fly away
         but here they stay
in our homemade cage.
We'll let them out
               too soon,
      it's true
but right now
             all I want to do
is be here
with me
      you
           and the butterflies.

    Evergreen sprigs line
    The path I took 
    Down the river
    And past the old saw mill

    Here birds sing in shrill cacophony
    And my heart beats in tune
    To each whistle

    Faster, faster
    My thick skinned feet sing

    if i were to die tonight,
    i wonder what color your tears would be.
    if i were to die tonight,
    what flowers would you pick to remember me?
    if i were to die tonight,
    i wonder how you'd remember me.
    you told me,
    once,
