When I see your name pop up on my phone,I get butterflies in my stomach and a smile on my face.
I don't think I've ever felt this way about anyone before.

The memories of everything we've done, the places we've gone, the things we've seen together. The love we've shared. The glances we've shared. Knowing what the other person is going to say with just a look. Hearts racing at a touch. You give me butterflies. You make me happy. I never want this to end.

Until it did. Could I have said things differently? Could I have done things differently? Mistakes were made. Lies were told. Hearts were broken. So much regret. As I sit here playing back everything in my mind.

Will it ever go back to the way it used to be? As I sit here looking through the photos of us. Happy, smiling, in love. Remembering the moments of each photo.

Now the tears, the regret. The guilt. The pain. The butterflies are gone. You're gone.

As the rain falls outside my window reminiscent of my tears. Here I sit tracing the outline of you on the photo I just can't put down. With this drink in my hand.

This space feels empty. So does my heart. So empty.

Please come back so the butterflies will too.
