Can I have permission?
To desire you
To smell you in my dreams
Reminisce about your sun-dappled smile
Miss you when I'm awake
Maybe sing you a lullaby,
Even though I can't carry a tune
Can I?

Can I give you permission?
To release your wings,
Carry us on a flight of fantasy
Whisk us away to new heights of magical joy
To be so magnificent that you invade my soul
So wonderful that letting go would be tantamount to letting blood
Can I?

Can we be? 
That representation of infinity that so many constantly seek
Happy beyond belief
So wrapped up in each other that time has no consequence
Can we?

Butterfly,
Can you spread your wings?
Fly to my heart?
Be one with me?
