Paper boats

When I was young,
I used to love rain
I could feel the raindrops crashing my face
Like the tears of joy
Nothing ever made me happier

I left a paper boat once
With a memory I wanted to forget
I thought the puddle was big enough for my small hands
And as I grew up, I grew into the idea
Until I had left all my memories in the paper boats I never wanted to see again

I grew into my future
I wanted to travel thousand miles
Without a break
I wanted to go across the giant puddle and see what's on the other side
I wanted to touch the sky on the other side
But how did I oversee
I started receiving my paper boats I left years back
They were heavier now
With all the memories I tried to suppress in
The weight of the boats made the puddle look fuller
Now that I feel the paper boats
I can still see the moments
Gone by which felt like infinite days
Dragging me with them
