Little Grayish Butterfly

Today, I saw a little grayish butterfly on the floor of the living room. It was lying there, both its wings are flat, and it was very calm. Can one imagine how many memories this little grayish butterfly brought? Plenty.

Memories of how we saw a very similar little grayish butterfly relaxing outside of the window on a sunny day. You wanted to get it away and I asked you not to. I was so stupid, I know. I just felt that we should not nag her, to let her leave when she wants to leave, and if we ever wanted to open the window, then we shall make her go away by force, but for that moment, I asked to leave her on the window as she is.

So, with the memories of that day in mind, I decided not to annoy her. It. I don't know why I keep referring to little grayish butterfly as her.
I partially cleaned the apartment, I got the vacuum cleaner everywhere around her except the spot she reserved on the floor. Then after some time, she moved her place to another spot on the floor.

It got me thinking, I did not want to annoy her while it was on the windows because she was outside. But, now she is trapped inside my apartment, right? Perhaps am doing her more bad than good, and not as I expected. Since I barely have windows, she may never be able to get out on her own, right?

So, after some thinking, I decided to annoy her relaxing period, and force her out of the apartment. I got a little glass cup and a piece of paper, I put the cup over her, she was still at peace! I moved the cup on the floor to put the paper below it, she started to move inside the cup, annoyed, I apologized to her and promised her she will be free soon. I opened the door of the house, removed the paper from below the cup, and she flew :)

It was such a beautiful scene! Or maybe I think it was, we didn't really ask her about it, did we?
But I felt it was beautiful. She first fell from the cup due to gravity, then just before reaching the ground, she spread both her wings and flew. It was just beautiful.

For a little seconds there, I smiled, wished I could one day spread my wings and fly away.
But I am only human after all.
Am no superman.
