Colours
Red they say stands for love or admiration
Oh darling, my heart must have been bright red the day I saw you
Yellow they say stands for optimism and cheer
My love, my smile must have shone like the sun when you smiled at me
Turquoise they say stands for a clarity of minds
Baby, my mind must have poured a sea of turquoise the day you kissed me
Green they say stands for envy
Darling, my eyes must have seared green when I saw you with her
Gray they say stands for detachment
Honey, your heart must have turned gray when you looked at me
Black they say stands for emptiness
Oh my love, my soul must have turned black the day you said good-bye
Dark blue they say stands for depression
Baby, my entire body must have turned blue when I saw you kiss her
