True Colors

Black. White. 
What does it matter?
Color doesn't matter.
I can love whomever I want.
It shouldn't matter where you go.
I just want you.
I want your love. 
I want to be yours.
I love you for you.
Not because your color
but because I see the true you.
I see your true colors.

But you don't want me.
You don't want to call me yours. 
You would just want to lead me on
and for what?
As a game?
For fun?
Or just because?
So yeah.
Color doesn't matter.
But personality does.
Your true colors is all I saw.
And they were if fact
a total lie.
