for the betterment of us

Gradient of green and violet
Can I admire you from the moment we've met?
When mixed together, it looks like scratches
When combined, feels like a mess

Gradient of green and violet
A combination like no one loves it
Like it was never the best
To be different, a distraction, not a rest

It's odd when mixed, different from the eyes
It has so many questions answered with lies
Pretend to be nice, pretend to care
Unless it is proven, unless it is there

A one-of-a-kind light in the dark sky
Like the aurora borealis, something rare to find
And it's like falling snow on a tropical island
A memory lost in the back of my mind

Gradient of green and violet
Something you've met or something to forget?
A short-term smile for a permanent scar
Can a love only last for a while?
