He smiled and frowned at once,

A half hearted grin for what he had gained,

And a frown for what he had lost in the process.

He had gained an un-faithful companion...

He had lost all of his child-like innocence...

He had lost his first kiss...

He had gained a reputation for complaint,...

He had lost his butterfly...his lily,...his flower...

He had gained wisdom of companionship,...of love,...of hatred

He had lost his burning flare for life,...

I lost you, because of my stupidity, my immaturity ,...and my vulnerability,...the in-ability to say "no"...

If I were to die,..

Of poisoned lips,...

And there were no second choices or chances,...

Would you kiss me?

I love you,...

James,...

Please, if you are listening,..I am sorry,..

Give me a sign, my butterfly,..my flower,..my lily,...
