Butterflies...the feeling that you wish would go away and yet you also wish that it would never leave. That feeling when he speaks to me, as if my very spirit were leaping within me! Oh how I long to talk with him and yet I'm glad to have time to decide what to say. I long to be in his arms and yet I nearly freeze with fear; fear of my heart being shattered once again. Butterflies of excitement and vigor for love and yet fear and trembling of pain.

I was inspired to write this poem almost two years ago when I had a bit of a crush on an old friend.
