Paper Plane

I remember you from school

You were the one who caught my paper plane

I wanted to leap on to your smile

And proclaim my love

If only I knew what that meant

The teacher confiscated

My aerodynamic craft

She wasn’t impressed

This made you laugh

And me gulp…again

I remember the next time I flew

A paper plane towards you

I was proud of my flight plan

When it landed on your desk

I drew a kiss on each wing

There was a hammer in my chest

You put the plane in your bag

And waved back at me

I wished I was on that flight

Just be close to you

I remember standing in the rain

With an even bigger paper plane

I was waiting at the gate

I flew the plane straight to you

You caught it in your hands

Then kissed me on the cheek

I didn’t wash my face for a week

I was flying high above the stars

Those planes were built on love

I wonder where you are
