Butterfly, butterfly,
Why do you stay?
He wondered sometimes,
Why did she stay?
He knew he hadn't been the best of friends to her,
Realistically at times, not a friend at all
Butterfly, butterfly,
Please fly away!
Selfishly, sometimes he wished she did leave
Not because he wanted her to
Oh no, sometimes he wished she never would
But he feared it was for the best
She was the only one who had managed to bring down his defenses with just a look
And every time she took them,
he had to retreat, for maybe months at a time, to rebuild them
Butterfly, butterfly,
Escape this place!
Sometimes he wished he had never asked her to stay in Vegas,
She was a great CSI,
No doubt about it
But he hated to see her so affected by the horrors of 'Sin City'
He knew it was stupid to think as such, as it wasn't just Vegas
It was the cases and he knew she could get the same in San Francisco
Though he saw what Vegas did to people
And he never wanted that to happen to her
He already saw so much pain in her eyes,
He didn't want staying on Vegas to contribute to it
A small part of his mind, most likely ruled by his heart,
Told him that if she stayed, one day he might get the chance to help her
But the rest of his mind, told him that he was part of the reason she was so in pain
And that quickly silenced the rest of his mind from guilt
Butterfly, butterfly,
Fly!
Fly, fly away!
The more she stayed,
The more his walls crumbled
And he couldn't let that happen
But each time she got under his defenses,
He found his resolve weakening
When she got close,
Every mental argument on why she couldn't be allowed to get close, fled
...Butterfly, butterfly...
...Before it's to late...
He tried to warn her, that it was never going to be able just a fling but she was determined
Each day his own determination to keep her at bay, weakened and
He knew it was only a matter of time before she was in his heart
And when that day finally came, he knew he'd never be able to let her go.
