butterflies in a jar

all i can think is everything i feel,
the butterflies stay bottled up in tiny jars,
everytime i come around,
the excitement hits me all over again...

it seems like we have been dating for years
but in fact its the opposite,
and yet the word committment, no longer freaks me out,
or leaves me filling empty,
its crazy how one person can change that in me...

i have let you in, and asked you to be gentle,
and i have yet to be let down,
the hard times will come and go,
and we will cling steadfastly to the moments of joy...

i fit perfectly in this nook that was being shaped for me,
and your arms will never let go of me,
comfort and safety is why i stay.

so we will live for each moment we have,
and not get carried away in a future so far away,
but can't help but let a few butterflies wander ahead of us.
