Kaleidoscope

Truthfully I didn't think I'd write another one of these Cause we were what I'd prayed for Almost two years on my knees Probably we couldn't know Love would mean reshuffling To become wider people Picasso forms and coloring And even though you're gone now I hold close to me That kaleidoscope Of shining tones I remember our last fight In the house built on the bay The smell of salt and coffee We sat on the bed I'd made How your left eye always squinted Listening even to my fears How we were like an exhale Your nose right there beside my ear And even in those moments The light stood out to me A kaleidoscope Of shining tones I know you well enough to know You probably really had to go I know us well enough to see We weren't so broken And even after all this time I can't help believe In our kaleidoscope Our shining tones Those shining tones
