You came looking, I watched you
Searching in my draws trying to find my truth
Attempting to find my soul which I had hidden
Tucked among my words specially reserved
You wanted to know my secret love affair
Why I smiled –clearly,it wasn’t for you
What made me laugh if not you, then who?
How could you win my heart who was he?
I had left signs and traces that confused you
For you to find, sending you into a spiral
My heart made of my butterfly wings
You failed to discover, you could not see
It had already been taken, it was always you
