When the butterflies stoped fluttering

"divorce is a hard thing to go through in life, especially because I grew up with that person"

When the butterflies stopped fluttering

It began with a smile and a butterfly fluttered in my tummy

He returned the smile and even looked for me

After I saw him again, I couldn't stop the feeling

that I had of these butterflies fluttering in my tummy.

He would hold my hand and touch my cheek,

Kisses on my forehead, and always next to me.

If I ever felt like I was gonna fall, I knew He was behind me, 

the more I grew with him the more the butterflies fluttered.

He gave me the best memories of my life,

Those memories which I will forever hold in my heart,

for I have pictures of our journey through life 

pictures of every thing we did together because I never thought we would part.

But like every butterfly that tries out his wings

will usually fly and be free,

While he was trying out his wings, I waited for him to say 

he would rather be with me.

Destiny has a way of showing you just what should be

Many nights I imagined him walking in my room

and telling me that he had made a mistake 

because he also had those butteries that continued to flutter.

But it was just my imagination trying to protect itself from the pain

Of finding out that the one you thought was your soul mate

actually left you alone in the rain.

The butterflies stopped fluttering

when I opened my eyes, 

The reality was too much to bare...

not only had I stopped living but so did the butterflies.

Now when I look at a butterfly, 

I wonder when I will feel them again, 

because it's been two years already

since the butteries stopped fluttering.

I'm feeling emotional right now... How beautifully you have stated the pain of your heart... Divorce is hard especially for the one who still loves the other person... And being with that person for a long time thinking of him as her one only love gave the most painful feeling to her when he left her... You have captured emotions and the truth of divorce very well here... I can feel for you frnd... An excellent write...

Sincerely
