I live my life in hues of blue
I live my life in spite of you.

---

You once drew a picture
Of the land and the sea
With our names scribbled across
There was you, and there was me.

Always a few steps ahead
You saw the divide
As I stubbornly attempted to prove
We belonged on the same side.

The pin-drop silence and still air
Distinguishes the wrong from right
I keep my eyes glued to the ground
Embarrassed, with my lips sewn tight.

Rather than intersecting lines
With a single momentary collision
We are more like those parallel
Dangerously close up until infinity.

So though you never asked
I've come to fix your little metaphor.

Me and you, we're more like
the sea and the sky
Each passing second
As my waves rise and fall
I tirelessly beat my own record
Of new heights, just to get on yours
But all you do is look down on me
With a hint of amusement.

I lay defeated beneath you
On my back, lost in your vastness
My clear waters reflect everything
That is painted across your horizon
And I am most beautiful when mirroring the color of you;
Your favorite, that powder blue.
