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
