Origami

I met you

Across the world

Small conversation

I turned into silent girl

We found a way

We made smiles and paper birds

Quiet revisions

Colored squares

Outnumbered words

Nighttime falls

Flimsy paper animals

Don't smooth the creases, you say

Your mistakes are beautiful

Now I'm back home

You don't write letters, you never phone

I almost gave up hope

Until one day an envelope

Can I love you this way?

Can it be true?

Paper cranes and daisies

Say 'I love you'

And people may say

What they will too

Who cares?

You care

My life's alright, I guess

It's just it's rather black and white

I know there's blue and red to see

I know there's yellow, it waits for me

What's at my door?

I lay the contents on my floor

Elephants, one red and blue

A frog, a duck with love from you

Can I love you this way?

Can it be true?

Paper cranes and daisies

Say 'I love you'

And people may say

What they will too

Who cares?

Do you care?

Do you care?

Are you scared?

Oh, do you care?

I met you

Across the world

I left you

Across the world
