She asked me,
What was my favorite color.
I took a moment to think.
I like red,
The color of blood and hearts.
Symbols of passion and love.
But the shade of your lips is my favorite.
I like light brown,
The color of creamy coffee and sand on the beach.
Things that relax me.
But the tone of your skin is what I prefer.
I like black,
The color of shadows and rum cola.
My guilty pleasures.
But the darkness of your hair is my comfort.
I like blue,
The color of the sea and the sky.
Nature's vibrant beauty.
But the color of your dress that night is stuck on my mind.
I answered in a whisper.
You.
And all the colors you brought into my life.
