NAVY BLUE

"did you know that velvet was made to mimic the feeling of roses?"

"i don't think that's true."

"id like to think it is."

all i could do was clench the steering wheel.
i wanted to drive us off the road, to drown us in the navy blue of dark skies.

i wanted to ask if you knew love was made to mimic the feeling of dying, but i clenched my teeth and you kept on humming avé maria.

i swear the sky got a little darker when you stopped. or at least, i'd like to think it did.
