blue

blue has always been my favorite color.

all hues of the melancholy shade appealed to my eyes ever since i was little.

that represents the emotion that shares its name, the rush of sadness, the lay-low mild color

the word for how i felt the day he left, and a different shade for each day following

drenching me in itself like the how the sky holds down the earth.

it's amazing how one color can denote so many things, meanings, feelings.

a bird and his happy songs

waves before crashing on stubbly rocks

berries bursting with the sweet flavor of summer

perhaps the reason why i love the color so much is because i see myself in it.

i am blue.
