Color Me Blue

Color me blue As I think of you A love once true Has lost its radiant hue Tomorrow I begin anew How? I haven't a clue A love once true Has now faded blue Where is the joy we knew Happiness that grew A love once true It's gone; it flew I know we're through All around I see blue A love once true Leaves me longing for you Wondering what I can do No more to pursue A love once true Has left me so blue I eat my words, I chew Taste like a worn shoe A love once true Has gone askew Did I misconstrue I strove to continue A love once true Until you withdrew Color me blue

Love hurts sometimes... Do you remember that old song? It has a lot of truth. But sometimes love is blissful and that's what causes "LOVE addiction!" LOL. Love, Dane

blue is a true color of sadness. and can also mean strength. to keep trying, or to go on. it allows you to listen to what your heart tells you because sometimes, others opinions aren't what truly needs to happen. thats when you need to go in your heart, even if it's painful.wonderful write Carolyn. -Always&Forever Lynette
