Was it destiny or was it density?


Was it destiny or was it density?
(An Engineer’s Ode to Love that He cannot have)

How can I forget you?
I traced your folds with my two hands,
I cared for them and I did caress them when you needed it.
I looked at you, I stared at you
I wondered..how can anyone be so beautiful, so amazing?
You came with me to the terrace of our small little home.
I was the one who asked for it, and you agreed.
We both knew you had to leave me.
That was your destiny.

Oh, but what a flight you had.
Crossing the other six terraces you made your way..
Across the park, across the water tank.
I never saw you falling to the ground..maybe I never wanted to see that.
Oh my paper airplane, I still remember every moment of it.
And let me tell you, she was the best I have ever made yet.
