Caterpillar.Butterfly.Caterpillar.

Within the last

few hours

I went from a Butterfly to a Caterpillar

how does that work?

Well when I was younger t

I was just a Caterpillar

ready to be released from my cocoon

and i was released

by a magnificent person

we laughed

we played

we sang

we danced

I became his butterfly

I flew high

I explored

I learned

I taught

My wings became more radiant over time

as I learned more about myself

Then true love was ignited

I felt like I could fly the highest of all the butterflies

I felt like I was the most beautiful of all the butterflies

and I felt that in his eyes

I was those things

I was slapped down

not very long ago

it was him asking to just

be his Caterpillar again

And I thought....

how does that work?

I can't just go back.

So I flew away.

I'll return one day

but for now

I am flying somewhere

and maybe I will be back

and maybe I won't

It's my life

and I am a butterfly

waiting to be loved...
