love

love

Is that feeling I get looking at you

When you’re constantly on my mind

The thought of you draws my lips into a smile

It’s the flutter in my stomach when you give me that gentle smirk

Loving you feels is a refreshing day at the beach

It’s the freedom and trust I feel with you

My world lights up when you walk into the room

My heart smiles because you just understand

You’re the warm sunlight the streams into the room rousing us from a nap

The pale yellow that soft cotton shirt you love

It was the color of the mug I shattered on your kitchen floor

Standing there in the middle of the room covered with lemon tea

You were the innocent pinks of us laughing at childhood memories

The soft warmth of the blankets yanked around us to stay warm

It as the deep blush of my cheeks as you

Covered me in those deep rose kisses

It’s the sound of my favorite songs when I listen to them with you

How they haven’t sounded the same since you

None of our favorite foods have tasted the same

They are bitter in my mouth or so sweet it stings

It’s the deep reds of the anger you made me feel

You’re the warmth the spreads through my body as you made up to me

The hands that grabbed you and pulled you closer

It’s the maroon of the memories that are embedded deep into our subconsciouses

You’re the deep blue of the sky that night when we decided to set off firecrackers

The pale cold of the ice we had to use when I got burnt

That numbness that consumed me when you left after everything

You’re the blue of the night sky on our first date

Our love was the deep orange of the sunsets you would take pictures of for me

It was my fingers curled in your hair in the late evening sun

It was the freckles you teased me for in the summer but I knew you loved them

The leaves falling as I stare at you blankly because time has changed us so much

The love you made me feel was the deep indigo of late night drives

Base pumping and vibrating through the car as we pass glaring headlights

The high you gave me of sweet kisses between bouts of singing our lungs out

It was the black hole that used to be my heart before you left

You’re the tears I choke back when I let my struggles get the better of me

It’s the words that get stuck on my tongue, the words i swallow in fear

The devastation of the fact I will never be the same person I was before you

You are the words of my confession
