Waiting
April 18, 2014
                                
                                
                                My heart is so tired
 and my soul is so weary
 please come home to me
 
 That stunning smile gives
 life anew. Repaint me, come 
 home, I am waiting

                                                                                                    This is so beautiful! I think the part that I felt the most was the part about repainting: the fact that the raw action of repaitning is artificial, designed to cover something up. But in the figurative sense, repainting is almost like recovering, starting anew, and choosing to change deliberately for something or someone else. Great job! :)
