To tell you a wish and a secret
Trying to catch you (Dear butterfly)
I forget Butterflies don't get caught
Unless they want to
Everyone says you'll (Dear butterfly) come to me
When the time is right
When the time is ripe
Believing their words with skepticism
Acceptance comes for a fleeting moment
Having seen no alternative
My heart fills with a teeny tiny hope
Some search for you (Dear butterfly)
Some don't search for you
Some pretend they don't search for you
Some find you
Some come across many of you
It makes me forget
Butterflies won't land on me
Unless they want to
It makes me forget
Butterflies won't stay
Unless they want to
It makes me forget
I ain't an omniscient
Growing up
Realisation hit me
You are my yearn for (Dear butterfly)
Unconditional inclusion
Unconditional fondness
Unrestrained fondness
Unrelenting fondness
Unending fondness
They say ignorance is a bliss
But sometimes
It makes me forget
You won't come to me (Dear butterfly)
Unless you want to
Tell me what it takes (Dear butterfly)
To let you go
