Why Not Just Let The Butterflies In? Poem by Heather Marie Mortimer

You got my attention, made me question my feet...
Made me wonder if my heart could handle your heat
Made me notice the stars are out shining tonight
And hope that tomorrow they're a little more bright.

I could ignore my smile and this spark in my eyes
But I'd be more of a fool not to believe in these lies
My heart: 'Why not just let the butterflies in? '
My mind: 'Because it is not yet springtime again.'

And I know it isn't safe to feel like this
But I'll take that fate just to feel your kiss.
