So paint me a picture

Let's sit down and plan this out
it's going to take some time.
A work of art cannot be rushed
it's very much sublime.

I know not to forget you
but do you feel the same?
The only way to make that work
is keep me in a frame.

I'll guide you through the process
I don't want you to be alone.
So take the brush and paint a portrait
or get the camera back at home.

I'll sit here and patiently wait
until you feel you're done.
But paint won't stay forever
the colors eventually run.

Maybe get the camera
it won't take near as long.
A picture is worth a thousand words
to me that statement's wrong.

So make your choice on what to do
both have their pros and cons.
Decision making isn't easy
we don't know what's right or wrong.

So paint me a picture - i don't care how
just don't forget my face.
We don't know where time will take us
we may eventually fall from grace.
