I could paint you a picture

Oh so beautiful

With no colors at all

I could paint it only with bits and pieces

Of memories and history

A splash of red from my loving heart

Black from my broken sanity

I would color it yellow

With the help of constellations

Your constellations

I would give it a fleck of gold

And a hint of orange

Given to me by the sun

Green shadows and highlights

The color stolen from your eyes

I will paint it white

With your smile

And I will show you my masterpiece

In all it's glory

And you will recognize

The memories that helped color it

The memories that it is molded of

And the future that will one day finish it

It stands there practically glowing with our past

And you cry a single tear

And I take the blue

That fell from your eyes

And I paint the sky

And you whisper to me

'It is as close to perfection

As humans will ever get'
