butterfly love

she fell in love with a butterfly
but the butterfly only felt ill
enough to make it rest with her
or better said incapable of leaving her.
she though she was nursing it to health
on the back of her hand;
they had a close relationship for a while
until another girl requested
the magic touch of the butterfly
and is attachment
to the back of her hand;
and she shared;
but the butterfly could not, cared not
return to her even though she still cared
she had to leave almost in tears
but with hopes that in the end
it would rest on a leaf,
by a flower full of nectar
within its reach.
