I’d like to paint you
On the eyes of others
In colors that exist only in my mind
And bring out a little of the beauty inside you
I’d paint your mousy hair a new shade of gold
I’d paint those eyes the bluest blue
I’d make your skin glow
In my own rainbow of colors…
I’d fix that busted knee
That crooked smile
Those callused hands
And let the world see the man I see
The man I love
