Painting Hue and Me

If I could paint a memory
It would have all the colors of you
warm splashes of sweet tenderness
and a moon surrounded in a purple hue
 
If I could paint loneliness
I would color it blue and gray 
Just the way I miss you
On every cloudy rainy day
 
If I could paint sadness 
It would be full of tears and doubt
Roses so red with thorns
That pierce the heart inside out
 
If I could paint my feelings for you
I would see it as a kaleidoscope 
of rainbows beaming a golden view
across the sky to say "I love you"
