Wax On Wax Off

No not doing too well...

I need you...
as the one that I love, I need you... I want you!

Life and love
so much to learn...
All I see...
All I dream...
What makes love?
How does it live?
Breathe? Eat? Grow?
Where does it come from?
Remember paint by numbers?
I know you do.
You told me once that you used to do it.
Right now I feel like I see the picture
And I can read the numbers
But I don't have the paint
Or at least not the right colors.

Love...
Hmmm...
Natural phenomenon?
Divine intervention?
Metamorphosis?

Can a caterpillar become a butterfly without it's cocoon?

Butterflies... beauty... flight... grace...
Ever chase one?  
Pretty hard to catch, huh?
There it is, you see it
First try the bold approach,
You run at it
Then it flies away,
But not too far, right?
Then you try to sneak up on it,
But you just can't get close enough.  
Do you give up?  
Or keep trying?  
Butterflies... Yeah, pretty hard to catch.
Maybe?  Maybe not?  Who knows?
