What am I to you?
A chance to flee from the tangled web you weave
A bitter-sweet note from a violin of discord
The solitary butterfly on the branch of your willow tree
Tell me, my love, how do you see me?
Am I the heaven that opens up, making it safe for you to fly?
When you’re thirsting for devotion
May I be the water in your private dessert sky?
Will you love me as I am?
Rebellious adversary, challenging everything that you are
Faulty, imperfect, made of flesh and bone
Yet loving every inch of you and adoring you from afar?
Will you love me as I love you?
I can love you on my own
It needn’t be a two-way street
Our history, to us, is already known
Will you accept me as I am?
Consenting to my flaws
Allowing for my weaknesses
Creating my own laws?
Why did you find me once again?
We met so long ago
Was one lifetime not enough?
I can’t just let you go
No longer a caged butterfly
The oyster no longer holds the pearl
You’ve set me free, my love
I’m a voluntary prisoner of your world
