You are supposed to be the petals
for my fragile feet to rest and cuddle.
Like the rose and butterfly,
we are meant to be defeated by destiny.
Our time together is fleeting,
as your nectars don't belong to me.
Where can I flutter to,
now that your keeper took you away?
How many more homes to seek,
so I can finally stay forever?
