Jan 2016
He was all shades of blue and gold,
like the depths of the sea and the sun rays
that light up every day.
I was all greyish hues of brown,
like the abundant and common dirt.
He brought up aquatic creatures
and the most breathtaking rainbows,
while I was meant to stain and spoil.
Nevertheless, someday I realised
that differet perspectives were what I needed to find.
The sun could burn as much as the ocean could drown,
while the dirt could also be the seed´s cozy home.
Those seeds that,
being burried in the warm brown dirt,
showering in the blue water
and staring at the bright sun;
would soon raise as a strong sunflower.

When I get a crush on a guy, I have an oddly habit of lowering my self esteem, and seeing my crush as a perfect and distant person. So in this piece, I try to remind myself that nobody is perfect, not even the guy that I like, and that I have my own bright sides too. Finally I state that the thing of relations is that they are a complementation game, people in couples fill each other´s blanks. Unluckily, I´m still on the distant-sight step.
