Portrait of Time

i display my love like a painting, 
from this canvass bound there is no escaping, 
when your near these colors start illuminating, 
they cover the old that have slowly been fading... 

this i ask you because you asked me to take my time, 
please in that time can we create a portrait that will only be yours and mine, 
can we stand hand in hand and perfect every line
for all who see will know we are truly a one of a kind...
