if you asked me why
my favorite color is blue
i wouldn't say it's because
it always reminds me of you.
i wouldn't tell you that it's like
waking up before the sun
like being trapped inside a daydream
where spring will never come.
blue that's taken for granted
when people see it every day
blue that no one cares about
until the sky turns grey.
blue like the veins in your body
like rivers under your skin
blue like the depths of my soul
dark like what's found within.
