Our pictures are like pretty petals scattered all over the floor
Our memories are like stars that twinkle on a dark blue sky
You have walked all over our pretty petals and stained them with dirty feet
But when the sun goes down at dusk
Hiding all the days labor in a haze
Our stars still twinkle on a dark blue sky at night
I will love you from a distance
Because each time I come close, you burn me
I will make a portrait painting of you
And adorn you with attributes you don’t possess
I will hide your flaws and paint over the pain
And make you perfect in every way
I will gaze upon you in awe
And fall in love with you over and over again
I will make memories in my head
And ask for the mercy of the dark blue sky at night
So that the stars will always twinkle in approval
I will love you from a distance
