i think the kids call it love now a days

i thought that my feelings were gone,
that the butterflies in my stomach had died.
but the other day when our smiles illuminated our faces and our hands brushed,
something a little bigger than butterflies started flapping their wings,
sending red signs of life up to my cheeks,
and flutters of feelings into my heart.
i can now say that one of us does love the other,
and its not the one that is going to get kasey 150 high fives.
