Disclaimer: Not mine
Our first meeting was green.
Green like the ring on my clenched fist.
You had that stupid haircut.
I told you that you looked like an idiot.
I never told you I missed it
When you cut it.
The years after that were gold.
Gold like the highlights in Cissie's hair.
You were always laughing.
I hid my smile behind a mask.
We were both so young
And so confident.
Then, the days were black.
Black like the sky on that long ride home.
A chasm gaping between us.
Both of us too stubborn.
You shouldn't have been surprised
When I left.
After that we were yellow.
Yellow like the sun we watched
Setting from the rooftop.
The golden days of the past were gone,
But we found a way to make everything okay
Because we were together.
The end was red.
Red like the blood staining my hands
As I collapsed on your lifeless body.
Your skin, which always felt like sunshine,
Was ice cold and I stayed there
For a long time.
Sometimes I think I see you.
Not green, or gold, or black,
Or yellow, or even red.
Blue was always your color.
Blue, like those piercing eyes
That still haunt my dreams.
