i was darkness
and i just so happened to fall in love with the light
i remember the feeling
so ethereal
so angelic
waves of blues and pinks washed over my body
smelling of salt and laughter
suddenly the black and grey was dissolving
and all the colors seemed a little more vibrant
the music was in a major key
my skin felt a little bit softer
and my smile lines grew deeper
dimples in my cheeks found their way
my brown eyes glistened
with every star in the galaxy you admire
and we were together
but when we were apart
hands outstretched
grasping for warmth
the color seemed to melt
in waxy drips splattering on the cold floor
i tried to salvage it
to soak up every drop
you were only paint
covering over the black and grey
hiding my monochrome
i came to realize you were a temporary fix
leaving me permanently wishing for more
