You
When I was with the first, I was blues and greens
I had never experienced color before, and it was exciting
I assumed this is what it felt like for everyone
And my eyes were opened a little crack
And my heart felt bigger than it ever had
And I often spoke of how lovely it was to be blue and green
Because that’s what I believed the world was
When I was with the second, I was reds and oranges
I experienced colors I never had before, and it was very exciting
I realized there was more to life than just blues and greens
And I liked being red and orange significantly more than being blue and green
And my eyes were opened even more
And my heart felt bigger than it had before
And I thought that this was my destination
Because I was finally able to grow out of the cool and into the warm
But then I met you
And suddenly I was every color on the whole damn spectrum
I was purple and yellow and blue and red and green and orange all at the same time
And my eyes were opened wide
And my heart was so big, I swear I could feel it pumping the rainbow to every tip of my body
And I smiled at my luck
Because you were the pot of gold I didn’t even know I was looking for
