Butterflies

Butterflies

My insides are in a bubble
wobbly and jumpy
spinning up and down
and completely out of control
It’s a feeling
I’m unfamiliar with
It’s a sensation
I can’t seem to shake off
It’s making me unsettled
and I’m losing focus
Yikes,
I think they call this butterflies
I guess I’m really into you

My mind is usually preoccupied
analyzing and overthinking
articulating and strategizing
but now it’s filled with thoughts of you
It’s a state
I didn’t prepare for
It’s a situation
I’m not sure I’m ready for
It’s making me uneasy
and I don’t know how to cope
Yikes,
I have butterflies for you
I guess I’m really into you
