The Flower and Butterfly

A beautiful flower fell in love with a beautiful butterfly
They decided to be with each other until the day they die
The butterfly could easily go
To far away places where red roses grow
In love with a flower fell this beautiful butterfly.

They spent the days together, looking up the sky
„I can‘t get you there“, said this handsome butterfly
„If we have children, I can get them there
My wings can get them anywhere“.
That was the love between a flower and a butterfly.

Her flower-friends said: “You can’t love a butterfly,
Befriend some blade of grass or other flowers try”,
She’d rather lose her petals and leaves
She’d rather die in an autumn breeze
It’s not that easy being a flower and love a butterfly.

A lot of people think it’s just a piece of pie
To fall in love, to take some other person high
To take them high, you have to teach them fly
To teach them fly – be not afraid to die
That’s how it goes when a flower falls in love with a butterfly.
