I saw them again today
Smiling and running around
Like two little butterflies
For a while I wished they were mine
They stopped for a second and looked at my face
“Why do you cry?” one of them asked.
I couldn’t reply
Instead I just closed my eyes
My heart was crying inside
I thought to myself “What if they were alive?”
To Kim and Meg Arsante (April 15th 1987 – August 16th 1992)
