Crimson: The color of the scarf I was wearing when I met you

Burgundy: the color of my lipstick in the eighth grade. You complimented it and then smeared it with your lips against mine.

Cherry: the color of our cheeks at the haunted hay ride you took me to. I didn't know which was scarier, the masks or how much I was falling in love with you.

Jasper: the color of my bedsheets that I refused to change for weeks. They smelled like you and I didn't want to lose that.

Maroon: The color of your Mustang that my dad disapproved of when we would speed through the lonely streets.

Rusty: the color of my skin bled after your funeral.

Scarlet: the color of my eyes after I cried for sixteen hours straight, and I swear to god I counted every last second.
