My social butterfly ...

[P17]

I promised I would start a new thread if I had anything more to add, so here it is.

This is an ode to my social butterfly. It's not very good, but I enjoy writing them. Funnily enough I can only write them at times of deep emotion - I suppose that's normal. Anyway, I hope it helps some people.

A final ode to my social butterfly ...

There once was a social butterfly
Who loved a busy bee,
They fell in love and got married,
And were happy as could be.

For 7 years they laughed and loved,
And gave each other strength,
For no matter what life could throw at them
Their love would never end.

But life is cruel and tough you know,
And can be much to bear,
Even for true lovers,
Sometimes our love can tear.

One day the social butterfly,
Noticed another busy bee,
But this bee was not so busy,
And was good to her, you see.

For our little busy bee that day,
In August 2009,
His social butterfly walked away,
And their lives were no longer entwined

Our busy bee, he now understood
What when wrong in their life,
But it was too little, to late to save,
His social butterfly wife.

When your true love walks away,
They take with them your heart,
And life will not be the same again,
And you have to go back to the start.

It takes strength and courage,
To start again in life,
And to realise all those dreams you had,
Did not leave with your wife.

Time is a great healer,
Or so the wise men say,
But when the pain is eating you,
You have to survive each day.

But those wise men are correct,
The pain will ease away,
So don't let it consume you,
But turn it to strength today.

Life is full of busy bees,
And social butterflies too,
But sometimes it's hard to believe,
That there is more than one for you.

We are here for too short a time,
To worry about such things,
We are here for happiness,
And to flap our beautiful wings.

We all make choices in life,
And we make our best call,
But every choice we have to make
Has consequences for all.

But even though the path we choose,
Seems right for us at the start,
Doesn't mean it's right for us later,
We can u-turn and follow our heart.

True love doesn't judge you,
For our mistakes that have caused harm,
Instead it wraps you up in it's love,
And keeps you safe and warm.

Our butterfly, she takes with him,
Our bees heart wherever she goes,
And inside that heart there will always be love,
For the butterfly he once did know.

Love does conquer all you know,
Our bee knows from his heart,
The path of true love is never easy,
We knew this from the start.

They say that if you truly love someone,
You must set them free,
For you, my true love, I do this thing
From me, your busy bee.

[Day by Day]

Oh wow! Beautiful P! Your words always inspire me.

Love does conquer all you know,
Our bee knows from his heart,
The path of true love is never easy,
We knew this from the start.

They say that if you truly love someone,
You must set them free,
For you, my true love, I do this thing
From me, your busy bee.

I think we can all relate! Lovely words, lovely prose!

I posted this on my Facebook page. One friend it sounds like she will think I want her back. Which I didn't think. However as my W couldn't 'understand' the NC letter I sent her maybe she will interpret it this way.

However another friend says she thinks that W will see it as a goodbye. Which is actually what I meant for it to be.

Off to change the title to 'A goodbye ode to my social butterfly ..'
