Red
Red
The sky was red
Beautiful strokes of orange
Mesmerizing streaks of purple
Sky fading away into blue
That’s the day I knew
I want a person
Who can enjoy this sky with me
Looked quite like a painting
Of an artist who didn’t feel like trying anymore
Simply put paint on a canvas
WIth a brush they had no will to hold any longer
Maybe they were tired
I’m tired too
Of not having someone to share
This ineffable view with
I want a person
To walk hand in hand down these roads with
fall leaves crunching beneath us
Sit on a bench and talk for hours about
what the best chocolate is with
Go to a park and stargaze and
sing terribly with
To listen to the raindrops on the road
while taking a walk with
To call when everything is painful
To be the first person to text about an award
or because of a spider
The sky becomes quieter
and I hear a melody
It’s a mournful goodbye
As the paint washes away
and the night sky swallows the canvas
I realize
All good things come to an end
Even the sun sets in paradise
Sparkles of white coat the night sky
Sometimes forever isn’t guaranteed
That’s okay
The memory stays with you
The endless darkness of the night sky
But don’t ever forget
Red
The sky was red
