It's the color of your eyes; azure pools of pure innocence that consume me like a bottomless ocean. The way they resemble a cerulean night, swarming with celestial charm and shooting stars. An unclouded morning sky, calling to me to spread my wings and fly into its luminous sphere.

I see them as a pair of royal sapphire crystals, reflecting my very soul as I pour my troubles in your arms. The smoky effect of slow beat music as it seeps through my fingertips.

The indigo hues of your sorrow, and the ancient sadness you've been concealing deep into the sea waves of your tears. I feel it in the tint of the bruises, aching in my heart when I first learned of your tragedy, and the sleepless cold nights without you by my side.

I remember it in the shades of the moonlit midnights we've spent together by the lake, bundled up in the warmth of our emotions. It makes me smile everytime I see a rare beryl butterfly, or robin eggs in their peaceful nest.

 The rainy nights, in which we used to watch it pigment the sky like a dark denim curtain, purge the world of all the gloom, and then fall to patter against our window.

Even though they call it a cold, sad, and shady color, it would always be my first choice to wear and to see. Because it told our story. It summarized us.
