There’s a butterfly in my closet

that reminds me of you.

After all these months

it’s hard to believe it was true.

I really should go let it out really soon.

It’s spent such a long time inside its cocoon.

There’s a butterfly in my closet that reminds me of you.



There’s a folder I keep

full of memories of you and me.

And some things inside it

no one else ever can see.

Butterfly wings couldn’t carry me away.

And butterfly kisses won’t make it okay.

Sometimes nothing can conquer the memories of you and me.



There’s a butterfly in my closet

that reminds me of you.

I never have been very good

at deciding what to do.

I should spread those wings and just let them flutter.

But when I think about it my heart starts to sputter.

There’s a butterfly in my closet that reminds me of you.
