RECREATE

V
Thirty-eight months without a minute to spare
And the hourglass knows that I’m still unprepared
To show you the shades of a burgeoning heart
That yearns to ignite with your spark in the dark

C
I’ve tried to recreate you
In the palms of my hands
But my visions are blinded
By your lines in the sand

I’ve tried to recreate you
Out of pixels at night
When your silhouette stands
Just out of sight

V
Summers cool to an ocean’s blue
And your amber eyes dissolve out of view
Are we two stars at night too shy to collide
And enjoy the light that we could provide?

C
I’ve tried to recreate you
In the palms of my hands
But my visions are blinded
By your lines in the sand

I’ve tried to recreate you
Out of pixels at night
When your silhouette stands
Just out of sight

B
Slave to the fantasy of an Atlantic romance
And chained to the waist of Orion’s dance
A glimmer of hope beyond the wave’s crest
Drowns in the lie that I wish you the best

C
I’ve tried to recreate you
In the palms of my hands
But my visions are blinded
By your lines in the sand

I’ve tried to recreate you
Out of pixels at night
When your silhouette stands
Just out of sight
