My loved one is coming to visit
Breathless, excited as I prepare
Looking back at my reflection
Having groomed and combed my hair
Butterfly wings flutter inside me
As she glides into the hall
Holding her firm in my embrace
Standing proud and tall
Caressing hands, in my thoughts I dream
Of a happier time and place
The love and affection I feel now
Returned a smile on her face
Moments flow past into hours
Time tumbling as fast as a fall
My emotions stilled and halted
Like an Olympian hitting the wall
All around fast fading to nothing
Alas bidding my lover farewell
True love freed, fleeting with her
As I return to my cell.
