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
