What is blue? They say it’s the colour of the sky But I never saw it, for I am colourblind. And then you came along, covering my sky with your compassion The wisdom of your words, the comfort of your embrace They say the say the sky watches over the world But the one watching over my world, is you I can now see the colour blue. What is green? They say it’s the colour of the forest But I never saw it, for I am colourblind. And then you came along, bringing out sides of me I didn’t know I had Just as the forest harbours all forms of life You brought out all forms of mine The child, the man, and all things in me unseen I now see the colour green. What is red? They say it’s the colour of a rose. But I never saw it, for I am colourblind. And then you came along, touching your soft lips to mine The tenderness, the electricity, the passion you conveyed Ran through my lips, my veins, all the way to my core Your eyes said the rest, everything that was unsaid I now see the colour red. What is grey? They say it is the colour of a rainy day. Wait, this looks familiar, for I am colourblind! Ah, the clouds, the drops, the world I’ve always known But why is it so different, what are these colourful dashes in the way? Have I always felt so much, did my smile always stay? No, I see red, I see green, and I see blue I now see the colour of you.

Colourblind
What is blue? They say it’s the colour of the sky But I never saw it, for I am colourblind.
