Nostalgia?
By emilio

I used to love a girl deeply in high school, never spoke to her, but every time
i think of her standing next to me with an honest smile, the concept of True Love is never doubted.


   Folding paper creatively in a blissful
    patio, where the sun sets wet and great songs go
    to a decrescendo, The Tao examines    
    my paper…..
    …………a dove, sprout into a dozen
    walls illuminates a fire with a soft blue trail
    of lust and laminated smiles.

    The precious girl, which I’m completely
    obsessed about, lays in a position of comfort in the patio,
    and kindly erases herself from my eyes into the
    land of pain and bright glum.
       
    But this paper, that keeps adding a false
    Image to my true self, dominates the surface,
    Leaving nothing but wasted seconds and a dented
    Soul.
        
    The paper I fold is special
    because of my hands and my mind,
    but the real me is a decision between
    A simple door and a curtain of ecstasy.

Hello, Emilio,

The teaching of the Tao is to go for the central way, trying to control all excess emotions, so you'll have to try to find a middle way between the two choices in your last line. 
 
Wish you luck!
