Orange
If people were named after colors, I would name you Orange.
Not just any shade of orange...
The type of orange crisped on the edge of sunsets
Or maybe
A bold orange on a flame licking a match
Or maybe
An orange that melts so effortlessly into the scarlet tips of a poppy flower's petals
Or maybe
A sweet orange that reminds you of the sugary marmalade on your morning toast
If people were named after colors, I would name you Orange.
Not just any shade of orange...
