Who needs butterflies
when he ensures you feel loved no matter what day or hour
Who needs butterflies
when he makes some of the best dinners you’ve ever had
Who needs butterflies
when his kisses remind you that you’re where you belong
Who needs butterflies
when he holds you as if you’ve been away for years
Who needs butterflies
when every kiss he gives you is like fireworks
and ice cream on a hot day
and blankets and tea by the fireplace
and freshly baked donuts at 2am
and fragrant, clean sheets out of the dryer
and salsa dancing to a new song
and…
Who needs butterflies?
