Origami
You were so good at origami.
You were able to fold these complex shapes and designs as if they were just exercises for you while I was okay at it, but yours were always better.
It seemed to come so easily to you and I had to try so hard, I tried to make mine as good as yours but they just wouldn't have it,
I think that's what I admired really,
the fact that you were so good that I aspired to fold simple pieces of paper as good as you, I think I fell in love with your art.
I ended up falling in love with the artist too.
But you always made them better than me.
If love is inferiority then I don't want it,
if loving you is comparing my origami to yours then I don't want it,
if my love for you fuels these words, then I don't want you reading them while you think of someone else.
This is my first attempt at creating an allusion to a failed relationship of mine. I hope I've expressed it well enough.
