You said one night, you wanted to be free

You said that night, that’s why you turned to me

That night’s cool breeze, I took you hither and yon

And in one night, then I became your swan

We met at lunch, you were tangled in your pitch

We spoke at length, you were finding your light switch

And by dessert, we had talked for miles so far

And by dessert, then I became your star

Back on that day, wind grey, your sun was white

Back on that hill, you told me your plight

In that minute, I gave you a colour to focus

In that second, then I became your lotus

It was morning, when your heart became confused

It was eleven, when you were convinced love was unused

By noon that day, at your call I was cupids arrow

By half of twelve, then I became your sparrow

But on that night, I had need to be in my frame

And at that lunch, I was trying to be my own plane

And on that hill, I was smoothing my creases you see

Recycled now from all your origami
