🌙

[ auburn's pov ]

"hello," you say softly,
your voice saccharine
like        lullabies
thecoloroffallingwings
and winter
b

e

your eyes are so
             beautiful
             (blue)tiful
it makes me
hurt deeply
inside
         it makes me
         feel as if my
frozen heartstrings
are
t/u/r/n/i/n/g       into
           s
           t   of
           r   bittersweet
           a   forgotten
           n
           d
           s

you feel like autumn blue
cobalt      blue 
cerulean    blue
prussian    blue
neon       blue
melancholy blue
bittersweet  blue
origami     blue
black       blue
starry      blue
spring      blue
summer    blue
autumn     blue
        winter blue
        blueblue

you're so blue it
stains the whites of my
eyes with watercolor
e x p l o  s  i   o     n        s
and the corners of my brain
t     e     a     r
into disoriented fabric
of pluto blue

i realize i've been staring
and you're looking at me with
curiosity in your eyes and
        roses in your
frozencheeks
color
    in your bone colored
cheeks
      color
you're so beautiful right now

"let's go inside," i say

we didn't need words
we just smiled and the
message was
   c o n v e y e d

🌙

it is 7:15, and winter is
fall
   ing
      white feathers
dusting the gray
sidewalks
dying    softly
tenderly   cold

you order a cappuccino
  swirled with autumn
   l  e  a  v  e  s
and i          order
lattes drawn with 
              broken
c   n   t   l   a   i   n
  o   s   e   l   t   o   s
and dynamite foam
coffee waves washing against
beige beaches    and
          seeping into the
cracks of my mind,
warm
    (but not enough
    to reach my
    winter heart)

we are dreamers
fading away from the
world and
     pretending
that
  we
  are
  not
  dying
as we drink coffee
like we could be
forever young
we are dreamers
meant to die young
fleeting like the snow
   f l y i n g
from the soft sky
we are dreamers
           once
        we were
only the
people
w  a  t  c  h  i  n  g
only people watching as
others
     fell
        in love
dreamers dreaming of
the love we saw
         until we
found the love we wanted
in one another

you read poetry
as you drink your
coffee
    (isn't it lovely?
    how much we can
    learn about
someone from the way
         they drink their
              coffee?)

i reach over the table
fingertips reaching for
the face that i'd once
                 hold
in only dreams
            now a
            reality
i hold my hand to your
cheek, and your hand
reaches up and rests over
                mine
fingers softly cold
and delicate,
slender fingers that
    p + a + i + n + t + e + d
supernovas and new
worlds
and pluto that
   glowed coral brown
   and the color of
   cold courage
a painter's hands
hands with the power to
create true       art
     yet so fragile
     that glass could
     easily slice them

we stay there, in the
   d e l i c a t e
quiet
     that felt more
beautiful then a thousand
words and colors
we stay there,
and it is in moments like
this, moments that
feel
    as if we are the
    only people in the
         w  o  r   l    d
it is in these moments that
i can find a reason to live

[ when my hand finally
leaves the warmth of your
face the world feels cold
again, and you feel so so
faraway that it scares me ]

( roselin's pov )

i watch the
/d/
/r/
/o/
/p/
/s/ of snow falling
like white feathers, from
wings the color of
heaven

like white
f e a t h e r s // from WINGS
theCOLOROFHEAVEN

i watch as you drink your
coffee, both hands wrapped
like a scarf around the cup
/fingers gripping tightly,
as if you're scared to
/ / / / l e t g o / / / /
hazelnut strands of hair
fall into your forehead ::
your eyelashes flutter ::
your cheeks filled with
pink c/a/m/e/l/l/i/a/s ;
u blow at the coffee so
softly

your eyes meet mine
lost eyes / soft eyes /
coffee eyes / glowing
like a soft light in
barely breathing spring
forests / a gaze like a
w h i s p e r

your eyes smile quietly

oh, i love it
when you're awfully quiet

don't hide my la-love
don't hide from me,
darling come out and
PLAY. come learn how
to live with
me, my dear / it's about
time that u learned to <3

everything about you is there to love
