The Heart Shaped Wings of an Origami Butterfly

Your beauty is unlike any other

Your smile and laugh are like a fire on the coldest day of winter

Your cold hands when they touch mine bring me warmth

Your sparkling eyes are my guiding light

When I meet your gaze I feel like I’m flying

On the heart shaped wings of an origami butterfly

Far above the ground I soar

Smiling and laughing with joy

I snuggle closer

Your voice lulling me to peace

And I know

I’d follow you anywhere

On the heart shaped wings of an origami butterfly

You tell me that you struggle

Making friends

Well

I’ll be your friend

Forever and always

And if you ever wish it

I’ll be more

Because I love you

More than you know

And it warms my heart

To know that you love me back

Even if it’s not the same

And if you ever ask why

This will be my answer:

“You may not always believe it

But you are my best friend

You chose me

Much as I chose you

We’ve been together

Through thick and thin

And when it comes time

For you to emerge from your chrysalis

I will be beside you

On the heart shaped wings of an origami butterfly”
