before you, brown was just a color.
nothing special about it, just a shade.
but when i met you, it was
no longer just a color, or a shade.
it spoke to me, drawing me in like a
fish with a shiner. it wasent just brown,
it was the most gorgeous shade of
hazel when the sun hit it just right.
it became my new favorite color.
before you, iris was just a song.
yeah it was cool, but i never listened
to it til the end.
it was that song on my playlist that
was just there, taking up open space.
but when you told me you liked it
i gave it its own playlist,
and titled it your name.
i memorized the harmony like my
life depended on it.
i spoke to you in lyrics, and you smiled.
it was no longer just a song, it was an anthem.
before you, things were easier.
i never got sad at night, i never
closed myself off.
but then you bumped into me
and i knew at that moment you'd
mean more to me than you'd ever know.
you undressed me with your words, and when you told me you loved me
i never wanted to hear it from anyone else.
