like a butterfly bolting from a leaf
about to fall since it can’t hold the weight
like new brights colors shining
ever more brightly from a rainbow
like the wind relighting a candle
after a window left closed for too long
drowned out the flickering warmth
begging a match to strike
and now every bit of it back
the hope, the heart fluttering
the glimmer, glances… and giggling
catching an eye, throwing out a smile
hoping for one in return
