The Color I Never Knew I Needed

My favorite colors were yellow and blue. Yellow for joy and wildflowers and sun. Blue for content and the crashing of waves on an endless beach. My favorite colors were yellow and blue. And now? Now they are you. Because you are the spirals of everything. Paint flecks sprinkled across endlessness. Stardust dribbled on a night sky. Beauty in the ever-most subtle ways. The indescribable feeling you get right before falling. Stomach twisting and giddy. Now my favorite color is ocean blue, pitch black night sky speckled with silver, storm clouds, distressed wood against rusted metal, pink rose petals, and love letters. My favorite color is the impossible shade of perfection. Staring into the eyes of oblivion. My favorite color… My favorite color is everything. It is looking at you and seeing nothing but hope and love and adventure and a lifetime worth of happiness. It’s joy and fear mixed into a captivating landscape. My favorite color is a rainbow slammed against a wall, twisted into a kaleidoscope of random. It is redorangeyellowgreenblueindigoviolet. It is the impossible. It is you.
