If I had to name your colors,

I’d go with sage, navy, and maroon.

Peaceful, moving, and loving,

Exactly how I’d describe you.

Sage, used to cleanse and restore positivity.

With you, I speak freely of my traumas,

without judgment; without hate.

I’m coming clean, and you make it all sound better.

If only you burned with me forever.

Navy, representing the darkest of oceans.

The vastness of the unknown frightens most,

but those who matter, know the beauty underneath.

Like the waves, you need motion and freedom.

If only you’d let me sail on your waters.

Maroon, for your overworking heart.

Consistently giving, awaiting reciprocation.

I hope you know, the right one will come and take the pain away.

They’ll remind you how it feels to be safe and loved.

If only you realized that they were me.

If I had to name your colors,

I’d go with sage, navy, and maroon. 

Peaceful, moving, and loving.

I wouldn’t change a thing.
