Drifting far away from me
My paper boats~

Holding all those secrets for so long,
I tore every page 📄 making the paper boats.
Every boat filled with Our Memories .
Each boat as a vessel of our past.
It too wanted to be free from the diary of memories that wouldn't last.

All those firsts that I can't forget
But wanting them to vanish from my sight.
Those boats carrying yours whispers,
Saying goodbye and gets lost in the light.

All those memories are sailing away.
Fading like sunsets at the end of day.
Drifting far away from me
My paper boats~
its carrying so much that eventually it will sink
Letting go of the memories........

Washed up on the shore
of the oceans, your waters inside
I left an armada of paper boats
folded from all the letters I wrote to you
In my mind, in my mind
For you to never find
For my pride to unwind
For love to be kind

I flew across a mountain high
The edges of your mind
And shed the feathers from my sacrificial bird
in hopes you'd make a pillow to rest your head
On my thigh, on my thigh
For you to be nigh
For my lips to gift you a relieved sigh
For love to get by

I sat underneath the tallest tree
the growth of me and you
and tried to capture the play of light and shadow on photographs
in an attempt to keep all memories safe for your return
To my side, to my side
For you to let your insecurities hide
For my arms to be open wide
For love to abide

Walking through the rainy streets.
Puddles filled with muddy waters
Waters that don't reflect anything but happiness
Setting out paper boats again
Dancing like no one watched
And frankly, we didn't even care
And the smokes and the mist
Galaxies formed somewhere here on Earth today.

— The End —
