Butterflys

Do you feel it...
The butterflys inside?
Do you feel it too?
The way they soar and glide?
 
They go way up
and dive so low-
Some hang in the middle
as if nowhere to go.
 
Their colors brighten
with thoughts of you near.
Why this happens
isn't quite clear.
 
Their beating wings take my breath away.
My head grows light
and I've nothing to say.
 
My heart beats wildly
as they zig and zag.
I feel senses heighten
as butterflys play tag.
 
They seem to settle
when thoughts of you fade.
Could it be possible?
Are butterflys love made?
