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.
