FAREWELL PAPER BOAT
now you still there, I think I'd be able to see you if you really wanted me to see you back... Or if I wasn't always crying hoping to just hear the wind whisper back at me.
.
. I know your smile is still the same, a bit unusual but still, I miss it.
.
. And so I write on this paper boat, just to remind me if how crazy I can be, and just how hopeful and silly at times I get.
.... On this paper boat, I want say much, I'll just leave a note that you'll understand. Just three words.
..
I'll place a piece of candle and a matchstick on top of the note, because only you would understand that.
...
I'll drop it in the ocean and watch it sail...
And just maybe... Just maybe, you'll see it.
...
I'll wait by shore, day in -day out ,
.
I'll make more, day in day out, sending the same note because it seems less crazy, writing that actually saying it because you don't sat nothing back.
...
I'll wait for one of them to come back.
With or without the note, with or without the candle.... I'll just know...
...
With or without the matchstick, ill just know... Because only we understand...
Only we know...
...
... Farewell, paper boat,..
