The colors between our lines
For the first person I thought I could love a long time ago
Red
Maybe it was love or lust
or loneliness
But I know it was something deep
Maybe it was your dimples
and I just wanted to see your smile
All I know is that it was something deep
Something red
like blood
or something red
like fire

Yellow
We rareley saw the sun together
we were a part of the night
mosiquitos and
deep conversations
of just silly questions
of another story
of our sanity
the only yellow we know
is the glow of the street lights

Orange
My favorite drink is orange juice
or a classic grilled cheese
I want the simple things
like slow dances
to compliment whiskey glasses
sometimes I wonder why I miss you
why you feel like the color orange
why we are more complicated
than I want us to be
___________________________
Green
Up in a puff of smoke
our laughs getting louder
higher
Higher than the business
of the world beneath our feet
higher
high enough
that we see space before us
Green
but we were both always broke
Green
and we grew together somehow

Blue
Some nights there was no joy
some nights were empty
some nights we would wait for the waves of time to pass us by
In the quiet though
I held your hand
and wondered what your favorite color was
The I told you my favorite color is blue
I wonder if you still remember
______________________________
Purple
We were both bruised
we still are
But we held onto ourselves
to something more
something we both know
is too exspensive for our hearts to afford
that just left us purple
bruised
broken
fighting together
against the things we already knew
