The boy I met a year ago
Is almost more my brother
Than the one I’ve had since birth.
Our breaths align,
Our blinks the same,
And when I heard he got trapped underwater
I felt my heart stop.
I took my sunglasses off
7 months ago and all I saw was purple;
Now when I‘m drowning and he pulls me back into the boat
And it doesn’t get rid of the ocean in my lungs, eyes, heart,
He reminds me to take my glasses off
So I can see how beautiful the world is in my shades of purple.
Purple.
Skies
Clouds
Waves
Cloths
Birds.
All of them,
Purple.
