The Colors Within Us

No words can exactly describe you

But let these words speak and long

For all the feelings, for our memories

Now, you are someone whom I’ll find

Somewhere in the back of my mind

Always on the tip of my tongue

Forever in my heart’s history

Cause I was once a color blind

You became my EnChroma glasses

You lit my entire world up

Now bursting with vibrant colors

I loved the brightness in you

Oh how it blinded every core of my being!

The yellow in our smiles as we watched the sunset

Silhouettes in sync and so our heartbeats

You swept me off my feet so casually

With illuminating hues, so bright, so high

I almost touched the starlit magenta sky

Then I saw the blue in your eyes

The grayness of your shadow when you walked away

Tears in black rolled down on my cheeks

I hated the dullness in you

Oh how it darkened every core of my being!

Now, I am someone who was once

Special to you, someone unforgettable

But you still stirred my heart when you wished

For me to find happiness; I also wished for yours

Oh look how subtle our goodbyes were.
