Red - the color of the ball I threw over her backyard
the color of her cheeks when she first saw me
the color of their roof that I always notice when I visit
the color of the kite we always played with
Red - the color of her shoes when I said goodbye
the color of the car that drove me away
the color of my shirt on my first day of school at a faraway place
Red - the color of her lips after ten years of not seeing her
the color of the roses I gave her when I got braver
the color of her cheeks when we first kissed
Red - the color of the eyes watching us behind a wall
the color of her lips that diverted my attention
Red - the color of the carpet she walked on before she became my wife
the color of our parent’s eyes as we recited our vows
the color of the highlights of the sky as we rode to paradise
the color of the roof of our own house
Red - the color of her purse when she left for work
the color of the eyes I saw once more
the color of the vase I accidentally broke
the color of the telephone that rang
the color of that blinded my mind
the color of the bag I brought as I rushed out the room
the color of the trail I followed
Red - the color of the cutout heart that she held out
the color of the hearts that surrounded the Valentines surprise that she prepared for me
the color of her love, my love —— our love
Red - the color of my hands that held hers tightly every single day
the color that always malfunctioned when we watch in our television screen
the color of the chair we sat on for the next fifty years of our lives
Red - the color of the last rose I gave her before I followed her to heaven
