Butterfly Memories


Sometimes the memories hurt
they wrap themselves around my throat
and make it momentarily hard to breathe.

Tears flow freely, as I remind myself
that it’s okay to cry. And it’s okay to feel.
Sometimes I forget that.

For it is the emotion that reminds us:
We’re Alive.

And in this moment, in this memory,
I am very alive

...because my heart is pounding
and the butterflies in my stomach
are flying as if there’s no tomorrow.
