Superimpose

Want to lift you up again

To show you what it really meant

To see the light around you bend

At the center of a vacant eye

Lit against a darkened sky

You've taken up a life inside

Caught a glimpse of something perfect

And I can't escape the dream

I'll fill in the rest as I please

Maybe someday you'll see something

Refracted back from me

And this won't have been just a dream

Please forgive my tendency to superimpose

Onto you the things I haven't seen but surely need

Maybe if I let out all the love I hold here in my hands

I'll someday find it shining back at me

Hold me in your light

One last loving time

Something to remember this by

Hold it in my head

Paint around the edges

Can't help but recontextualize

Caught a glimpse of something perfect

And I can't escape the dream

I'll fill in the rest as I please

Maybe someday you'll see something

Refracted back from me

And this won't have been just a dream

Please forgive my tendency to superimpose

Onto you the things I haven't seen but surely need

Maybe if I let out all the love I hold here in my hands

I'll someday find it shining back at me

I can hold this

For a lifetime

Again and again

Lifted image

Love in stillness

Again and again
