butterflies

butterflies.

i haven't had them since middle school
i thought they weren't coming back
just a silly lovesick phase, a preteen infatuation side effect

but i'm in highschool now and...

when i think of you they come alive--at first i didn't know why
when i looked at you they would flutter
and when you hugged me they would fly
when you talked to me they danced around
when you smiled at me my heart would pound

sensations i haven't felt in a while

it's your fault you make me smile

it's true,
i like you.
