Exoskeleton Ghost
Radiant beaches with a tropical tangerine sky
Always wondering & asking myself why
Reenacting the days we could've flown
If bravely to each other we just would've shown
A mystery of memories jumbled in our hearts
Eventually we lost our memories - the further we became apart
Those dampened memories of kissing you after dark
The message in the stars - where I wrote your name
So brilliantly written - like a quatrain
Like the moon lit up on your face
Every inch of your body - with my fingertips I'll trace
I wish we weren't so closed up & obsolete
I wanna find each other again - our vacation retreat
I wanna take a break with you - know you all over again
I wanna rekindle things - with my best friend
When once so opened - you always talked to me
Now I feel I'm a ball & chain - & I won't set you free
But what if I said I wanted it more serious then our first?
Would commitment steer you away - & my time you'll never reimburse?
Just out of curiosity - does anything I mention make sense?
Or am I seeing way too many things past-tense?
Has there been anything (up until now) you didn't know?
Or instead of words, do I need to refresh your memory & show?
Wishing on a star - hoping it'd be true
Has anything I told you been something you already knew?
I wish I would've had more time to sync with you
Darling, you were ALWAYS my rock
Until your heart for me you wouldn't unlock
You knew (to me) our friendship mattered most
But I still wanna know ALL you - & not just your exoskeleton ghost
