Butterflies


In between the moments of Sipping coffee

my vision stuck on something so beautiful

and even sweeter than actual honey 

pure honey brown eyes

my russet eyes met your honey eyes 

and in that moment I felt something 

tickles in my stomach, 

we were wandering in college campus 

I saw the most exquisite view 

those rosebud lips of yours  

curved into something so pretty 

that I never knew one capable of 

I saw you smile 

And in that moment I felt something 

tickles in my stomach,

Trying to escape the rain 

For the first time

you held my hand 

we ran through the swarming streets

and in that moment I felt something 

tickles in my stomach,

we snuck out of the class

And got to your bike 

driving on the outskirts of town 

I wrapped my arms around you 

resting my head on your back 

And in that moment I felt something

tickles in my stomach,

I was on the bus heading home

when you called explaining 

how every thought about me brings 

a smile to your face 

how being with me 

brightens up your day

how everything about me 

brings you joy 

And in that moment I felt something 

tickles in my stomach

putting all the 'somethings' I felt together

and said  

I fancy you

all the tickles just grew

and the butterflies causing them 

caught up in my stomach 

just flew

and I flew with them 

I didn't just fall in love 

I flew 

just like the butterflies.
