Paint Me Wet

I want your hair so straight and smooth
I want your eyes so small and beautiful
I want your face so fine and flawless
I want your lips so classy and sensual
I want your nose so symmetrical and admirable

But i mirror us beyond the wet canvas
You look straight at me and scream
  I want the long curly hair 
  I want the eyes so round, the most bright pair
  I want the lips so soft and natural
  I want the face, the golden torch of your age
Your screaming fades, and you whisper a goodbye
  I love you the way you are, don't make you another

Then you retreat back to the place of the creations of my mind
My brush become paralyzed by the awareness
Everything starts to dry, from wet to dry
The freshness declines, a mirror of me
