As the Butterflies Fly Away [link]
Written by Fleur and Mao
Music by Mao

Trotting through the wood
I couldn’t help but notice
The very special kindness
Of one certain mare

I gazed upon her with her hood
Beauty that rivals Aloe and Lotus
Such gentle nature and shyness
Somepony so gentle and fair

(Chorus)
I gaze and wonder of her serenity and grace
So lovely now, as everyday
My love for her shows red upon my face
As the butterflies fly away

Her flowers bloom with blue and yellow
As songbirds sing around me
I approach calm but nervous
As she hums with such grace and care

I’m just too shy to say hello
To such a beautiful pony
So kind and so generous
Who can ignore this radiant mare?

(Chorus)

I finally find some things to say
Whether you know it or not,
You are a gift to us all
No difference if you are shy

No more coyness in my way
I gather all the strength I've got
I tell her once, no longer to stall
Let's spread our wings and fly

(Chorus)

Writer's note: I had fun writing this piece with Mao. It took longer than it should have, but oh well XD It's just about done. The writing was easy at first but there were a few holes that we eventually plugged up, and I think it came out great. I wrote the first two verses and the chorus, and Mao wrote the third verse. Mao made all the music. Please note, the link to the song is just the instrumental. We do plan to have vocals sung in the future (hopefully soon; we'll either get someone to sing it or sing it ourselves).
