Director's Cut

i write, you draw
let's make a love story to sing our song
you sketch the scenes, i'll map out the plots
let's make a love story to recite our poem
let's map this out ; let's audtion the cast
you can have the lead role, i'll be the main act
let's set the lights just right, cue the background music
let's set the mood just right ; let's use candles to do this ...
let's rehearse just once, get the finger paint out.
let's freehand this; i'll use red ink to scribble all this down
we may bleed from this as these scenes roll out
but there's no cut involved;
so they'll see us bleed in the previews after they see the scene where our love evolved.
let them view the trailer before the story line comes to life

act 1, scene 1 ; envision where the curtains raise tonight
me on my knees, you on my right.
you're hand reaching in between..
i won't ask you to pick up these peices, i'll just ask you to help me pick up me
show me something to believe in ; something amazing ; something intiguing
you'll ask and i'll slowly stand next to you
i'll ask and your lies will slowly make me regret you
but not just yet; we haven't rehearsed what's next
so on that same night, with one kiss goodnight
your eyes will have me fooled
my heart will feel gold; my mind will feel you.
my love will be sold; some mountains will move
let's preview.
these curtains will fall; same act, same stage
new scenes for our love to take place

act 1, scene 2; night turns to day, the sun's out bright
the skies pearl blue, the clouds in full bloom
what you mean to me, becomes what i mean to you
together our feet in the sand; next to you is where i should have been from the start
light the candles; lay the blanket out
lay me down; there's a mural under my clothes that only you will know
there's a story in my eyes
use the finger paint to trace what's inside
you'll feel my pain, you'll see my truth
use you're skills to sketch the proof;
i'll write my words in the sky to express what you mean to me
orange and red, like fire; it's on fire
the sun sets; shooting stars all around you, they're silent
but you can paint it louder
play the music louder; you sing my favorite song; i'll ignite this
red and orange lights; it's still on fire
making kodaks until the sunrise
making love songs until the sun hides
but then the curtains close.
same act different roles...
sketch the seasons; bitter like winter, chilly like spring
you and me; these sketches, these scenes
these songs, our love thing
brisk like the fall; but summer lovin stole it all
until it got confusing, until it got mistaken
but you played it back
you kept it on repeat instead of abusing it
everyday the sun will set, the sun will rise
truth is, if we part my heart may have to take five
once the sun hides, you become the only star in my sky
so in years from now i'll still write and you'll still draw
together we'll still create the meaning of it all
but right as the curtain drops and the credits fall
the red in my pen will die
the paint on your finger tips will dry
and slowly i will be reminded i was only dreaming of it.
