You realized before I did that we would never fit, only collide. We weren't meant for forever. We were meant for disaster, always. Somewhere in my bones I knew that we clashed but I couldn't explain why and now I know. You were red, burning with passion and I was yellow, too optimistic for our own good. Red and yellow don't match. they only mix to form orange, the universal sign for danger You were a stop sign, the truck that put out the fire in my heart, the low battery light. I was sunny, Van Gogh's paint, the midway point between go and stop. I was SLOW DOWN I was YIELD I was a sunflower that you somehow managed to crush. Your flames grew taller than my blooms and when there was nothing left of me to burn, you moved on to a new field of flowers. Roses this time, pink and young and innocent. I hope she burns as poetically as I did
