Red.

It's the color you see when she dances. Twinkling red lights at the edge of your vision. Scarlet fabric swirls around her waist as she spins. Ruby lips part in a laugh as you dip her. Red is the color she leaves on your cheek when she kisses it goodnight.

It's the color you see when she cries in your arms. It's the color that drips down his face when you hit him. It's the crimson that leaks from your fist as she gently bandages it. It's the swirling in your vision when she presses her lips to yours for the first time.

Red is the color of the roses in her hands, the color of the blush on her cheeks as she walks towards you. Soft red light is the color of your first dance. It's the color of th confetti in your hair that she laughs about and pulls out. It's the color you see when she kisses you, and pulls the door shut behind you.
