In trembling hands I fold these corners neat
Each crease a word I cannot speak
The autumn breeze carries fallen leaves
While I practice what to say
Standing by the waterside
My reflection ripples with uncertainty
This origami heart so carefully made
What if the current takes it away
Time flows like the stream
Carrying wishes downstream
In this moment between courage and fear
I set my feelings free
I release my paper boat
Into waters unknown
(Waters unknown)
Watching it drift away from shore
This message I've written for you
Will it reach your heart
(Will it find its way)
Two boats now dance upon the water
Your smile creates waves of warmth
We float together through spring rain
Each droplet a sweet melody
Morning light paints our journey
In colors I've never seen before
Every day brings new discoveries
As we navigate this gentle flow
The current keeps us close
Two boats in perfect rhythm
Every ripple tells our story
Every wave brings joy
Our paper boats now sailing
Through waters serene
(Waters serene)
Dancing in perfect harmony
This love we've created together
Feels endless and pure
(Pure as morning rain)
But paper isn't meant to last forever
And storms will always come
I watch our vessels slowly fade
As thunder rolls above
The rain falls harder now
Each drop an ending
Each splash a memory
Dissolving into the flow
I gather these wet fragments
Of what we used to be
The ink has run the folds undone
But I remember every crease
The water carries on flowing
As if nothing changed at all
While I stand here wondering
How paper could feel so heavy
I release my paper boat
Into waters unknown
(Waters unknown)
Watching it drift beyond reach
This message I wrote for you
Becomes the river itself
(Becomes the river)
