Honky Tonk Butterflies

I only truly loved once

But she wasn't mine

To love

Never found another

That was quite the same

At all

So it was down the road

Once again

Till the next stop

In some old town

Looking for

 A Honky Tonk Butterfly

 To pretend to love

And fill the empty night

Time

At night

Deep in thought

I feel

Your gentle touch

A subtle reminder

More time has passed

Than lays before me

Cherish those little moments

A little deeper

The rush to reach 

Soul soothing goals

Be tempered

Fully enjoy

Each that come to pass

Create full memories

To hold

As the clock ticks
