my engagement ring is white gold
the type of gold that's gold in name only
most would mistake it for platinum or silver
white gold is beautiful, it's strong and shiny
it doesn't tarnish or fade like yellow gold does
but my engagement ring is white gold
not yellow like the cross i've worn around my neck since before we met
or the clips i use to pin back my hair at work
or the hoops i wear every day because you said they bring out the gold flecks in my eyes
my engagement ring is white gold
a choice you made because
while i refuse to wear anything other than gold
you only wear silver
