When you love someone so deeply

They become your life

It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside

Blindly I imagined I could Keep you under glass

Now I understand to hold you

I must open my hands And watch you rise

Spread your wings and prepare to fly

For you have become a butterfly

Fly abandonedly into the sun

If you should return to me

We truly were meant to be

So spread your wings and fly Butterfly

I have learned that beauty Has to flourish in the light

Wild horses run unbridled

Or their spirit dies

You have given me the courage

To be all that I can

And truly feel your heart will

Lead you back to me when you're ready to land

I can't pretend these tears

Aren't overflowing steadily

I can't prevent this hurt from

Almost overtaking me

But I will stand and say goodbye

For you'll never be mine

Until you know the way it feels to fly

- from Butterfly by Mariah Carey

Isn't this what love is all about? You don't have to keep on chasing it and keep it in a glass jar thinking that it will be your's until the end of time. For love seeks freedom to do other things. Without this, your butterfly will look for ways to escape from your glass jar and chances are, he will not come back again.

As what a friend told me once, If u want to catch a butterfly, don't run after it...instead sit down & open your hand. It will just land on your palm when it needs to rest..that's the best way to find Love!!
