Paper Heart

His eyes glimmered upon contact with the komorebi

Eyes directly at me

He smiled

Folding papers made for origami

He gave me paper roses under the cherry tree

My paper heart fluttered

And with trembling lips I uttered

My voice was too soft that I hardly heard myself

But he heard my heart and understood it

The following pages of my life became filled with color

Each day was a rainbow in clear blue skies

Till tears filled my eyes

He took away the color

He ripped my paper heart

And flew away on his origami airplane

I burned the paper roses and

Pieced back together my ripped up paper heart

And as the last teardrop fell I made a fresh new start
