As I let my paper boat go

As I see it floating on the water

All I can think of is how it smelled like lemons

Since I spilled some lemonade on the paper boat

When my friend Phil jumpscared me

By grabbing my shoulders and screaming

As I was folding paper and drinking lemonade

The lemonade got on the paper and all over me

I remembered that I got really angry

I got up and I started chasing Phil down

As he was laughing wildly, running from me

It took me a while but I got up with Phil

I took Phil down to the ground

He got filthy, being covered in mud

I felt good, I laughed, I thought I was on top

Until I fell down when mud got slung at my face

Phil got hysterical, seeing me fall over

I wanted to get back at him

So I picked up some of that mud on me

I threw it right back at him

I laughed again, even harder

Then I got tackled by Phil

We were rolling in mud

I finally got him off of me

We looked at each other

We were both completely covered

Covered in mud, lots of it

We were laughing like crazy

It just makes me laugh

When I think about it

I started thinking of Phil

If Phil showed up to watch my paper boat go

I could just imagine what he would do

Probably something really funny in a dumb way

But then I remembered that I could only imagine

Only think of him being here

As my paper boat was still going

Was still floating on the water

I started to tear up

Knowing that Phil will miss a moment like this

And another moment after this one

And another moment after that one

Another, another, another, another

And all the other moments like this one

I was crying from thinking that

But then stopped more tears from coming

When I saw the paper boat go

It made me remember something

Something my friend told me once

Don’t cry ‘cause something’s ended

Be happy that you got to enjoy it while it existed

I started to smile

I smiled watching my paper boat go

I smiled sitting down, next to the river

I smiled being outside

I smiled over enjoying such a nice day
