☾♥

standing here right now, i never knew i would pause to look back one day and realize i'd been leaving trails of red and blue in my wake. let alone take notice of the colors being far from the good kind.

rage. sorrow. repeat.

now when my eyes fall on the path created by my mind, i see you walking up to me in all your cherry-haired glory. bright. allegiant. fiery. 

i hid my colors, you wore them with pride.

and then slowly, eventually, the red faded. yours and mine. with your pink, came tenderness. and mine came carrying the ability to feel it, accept it, and grow in it; your acceptance, your patience. my negativity of purple washed away with the magic of yours. my blue of grief blurred with the blue of your comfort. and soon, the green of your hair was more than enough to remind me that all of the love i was silently envious of, could be mine too.

bursts of color have always played one of the biggest roles in both of our lives. 

and i wanted to let you know that i'm eternally grateful

because, until you, i didn't know how to see mine right.
