Emeralds and Saphires

We were not cut as diamonds, An expensive bauble with traditions and so many rules to follow, We were emeralds and saphires, Hues of sadness and envy, Longings and jealousy. And when we collided together as the brilliant jewels we both are, We forged into one ruby, The color of flames and desire, We became the shade of passion, And an eternal love that will last for eternity.
