That summer we were together

All of the memories we create

Simply for one another

Every paper crane made

A symbol of why you loved me

Through the long days in the fields

To the cool nights

Everyday represented by a paper crane

They all meant something

From you to me

Only from you

Never from me

You never taught me how

I didn't need to know

They were your gift to me

The only gift you needed

Was my love

And so I gave you my love

To you and you alone

When we were apart

You always said

That when ever I held

A paper crane

You would be thinking of me

And our love

Then the calls came

The papers were signed

The orders given

And the people beckoned

The time came

On the sad beautiful day

That day so long ago

When to said to me

Until I return

Keep this paper

As a reminder of me

And when I return

I shall fold it

Sealing our love forever

But the months pas

And the tears fell

The others came

They came with joy

And sorrow

But you never returned home

You never did come back

To the fields

cool nights

Or paper crane

Nor did you seal our love

Forever and always
