The Dress Was Green

Green dress on my lady
Shimmers in the bright sun
I buy all her new clothes -
I did not buy this one

She has always loved blue
This isn't blue I see
Double check confirms green
Something seems wrong to me

I admit green looks good
It gives her eyes a shine
Someone else has seen that
And trespassed upon mine

Or maybe she bought it -
Took it as her own task -
I admit I love green
But I'm afraid to ask
