Sometimes I feel like you're my favorite color. 

You're a soft brown. 

The color of warm sand on a beach between your toes. 

The lightest beige from the perfect ratio of milk added to my coffee.

Other days you're the color of dead grass. 

A horrifying shade of the color I loved just as much as I could love you. 

An ugly mixture of too many colors fused into one. 

Then again you were the warm shade of brown I cherished.

Hope was restored and I felt bright again. 

Only for a day to pass.

My advances were ignored.

My feelings were an afterthought.

Until next week when you need a shoulder to lean on. 

Cause what else was I for? 

Not for you to cherish like I did you. 

Nor for you to learn. 

Some days you were so many shades in one it gave me a headache. 

Warm.

Dark.

Bright.

cool. 

light. 

So many different shades of my favorite color. 

Brown was a rainbow too. 

Turns out not all rainbows were beautiful. 

That was the worst thing I learned from you.
