I'm not sure how it happened.
How I was suddenly so blessed.
Yet you came to me,
Like a butterfly that I couldn't hope to capture,
If only to admire its beauty for a precious moment.

I can not explain so many new feelings.
Make sense of my scattered thoughts.
Yet you fit into me,
Like a long-lost piece of my complicated puzzle,
If only long enough to make me feel alive again.

I don't know where our paths will lead us.
What we'll be to each other as time passes by.
Yet I'll carry you with me,
Like a beat of my heart held silent for so long,
If only to let you know what you'll mean to me til the end...
