I hope everyone finds a love
So powerful it overwhelms you
And makes you question
What you ever thought love was before

We were 13
We said "love you" over text
But I didn't kiss you because I didn't know you
And that's why we broke up

You were tired of being rejected
I was almost 16 and never-been kissed
Your mom didn't want you to date me
And we didn't like each other enough to fight it
And that's why we broke up

You were so sweet and loving
But you accused me of sharing my affections
And even though I didn't
I felt guilty because I did compare you to him
And that's why we broke up

We were never actually a couple
But I made up excuses to talk to you
I went out of my way to touch you
I apologized when you wronged me
But you still didn't want me
My worst heartbreak wasn't a breakup  

You were soft and secure
And I thought I was broken
There was nothing wrong with us
We confused being comfortable with being in love
And that's why we broke up

Red
I should have been embarrassed
Of the way we started
All lust and heavy drunkenness
Or the way I came crawling back the next day
My heart hammering nervously in my chest
You've been trying to make me blush ever since
Orange
It all moved so fast
It was supposed to be one night
One week
A text every once in a while
I thought we were always doomed to stop
Or at least slow down
Or something in between
Yellow
I wasn't quite innocent
But I wasn't quite not
Not quite white like all the sheets
In all the 2 star hotels we slept in
Our limbs intertwined
And we would talk and laugh about nothing
I love your voice I love your laugh
Green
I remember when I looked into your eyes
And realized they're the same color as mine
And every boy I kissed before you
Has become just another forgettable pair of brown eyes
Blue
You like to tease that I'm short
But I've never felt taller
Than the way I feel when you kiss me
It's like heaven is just barely out of reach
Indigo
And the hardest moments are all the good byes
I cry a little more each time
And I stay awake all night missing your scent
Missing the way you feel
Of course, I stay awake all night when you're here too
I've seen every shade of the night sky with you
Violet**
This love is something you don't find easily
So rich and beautiful and unique

I love you in the mornings
When you're just a little bit grumpy
And your only language is grunting
And last night we made plans for today
But this morning the only plan
Is to ignore the alarm
And when you wake up I'm next to you
But it's never close enough
And you clutch me against you
Like my breath on your neck
Is the only breakfast you need

I don't know why but
I'm so afraid of anything
That seems too good to be true
So I keep searching for problems
Or I create them out of thin air
And when I say I'm insecure
It's not because I don't trust you
It's just that sometime I think
You're too good for me
And I'm always worried you'll realize this
And leave
And I've given you so much of me
I'm worried you'll leave
And take my heart with you

I tried to make a list
Of all the ways you make me smile
It started with the laugh you have
When it sounds like the funny thing
Caught you by surprise
Then, the way you raise your eyebrows
When you catch me staring at you
I tried to make a list
Of all the ways you drive me crazy
First, your incessant insistence
To tease me about EVERYTHING
And the fact that I can’t even pretend to be mad
And also the way you do your hair in the morning
It’s really annoying how perfect it is
I tried to make a list
Of all the reasons why I miss you
Like, I sleep better when you’re holding me
And I can feel your heart beating in your chest
And every time we are together
I am filled with alllll the joy
And it’s always awkward when I blurt out our inside jokes
To anyone but you
I tried to make a list
Of all the reasons why I love you
But it’s so hard to keep track
When the list grows every day
And somehow I manage to keep falling
More in love with you all the time
And I’m pretty sure
I could spend
An eternity
In your arms
And the list goes on and on

The best nights
Are when I'm by your side
And you hold me tight
Last time we were together you turned away
And I groped around until I found you again
The night before that I had a night terror
And you held me and whispered
"It's okay I'm here"
Until I stopped screaming
And I love falling asleep
With my head in your chest
Love hearing your heart beat
like a sweet lullaby
Love feeling your gentle kisses on my hair
