Heart On a Paper

He left her with a 
Piece of paper,
Containing words of what
He hoped to be enough 
For her to comprehend.
He believed she'll read
Those lovely curved lines
With eyes of her heart,

Not of her mind.
Knowing she was cautious
To open herself to the
Possibility of being loved,
He still decided to be bold
And leave his comfort zone.
She returned it,

Never realising...
She returned what was
Meant for her to keep.
Such is the tragedy 
Of misunderstandings.
