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
