Butterflies and Caterpillars

by Alisa Js


Have you ever wondered why
A rabbit can't catch his tail?
Why flies don't wear dresses
Or a dog deliver mail?

You've got me going in circles
Trying to make some sense of this,
Why butterflies don't swim
Why this phone doesn't ring when you say you'll call !

My soul is all haywire for you
This crazy way I feel,
Yet I sit around and try to figure out
Why caterpillars don't wear heels...

I need you here with me
Right by my side just like you said,
Together weÂ’ll uncover those mysteries
Begin the dance of eternity...

LOL! Captivaitng analogy, with that special urgency and longing radiating throughout. Although the expression being "on fire" for someone is clichéd, the rest is definitely worth salvaging on its merit of comparison.
