I lived in a world of black and white
Where color just didn't exist
I thought this was the way my life would stay
But fate brought in a twist...
I walked into a hallway just like any other time
Not watching where I had gone
When suddenly, something ran into me
Or, rather––I ran into someone.
I fell over and hit the floor quite hard
But as I stammered an apology
I heard a voice, that seemed, quite by choice,
To be apologizing to me.
The boy I ran into said he was sorry
Then held out his hand for assistance;
I at first resisted, but as he insisted,
I decided to take it that instance.
As soon as I did, I saw for the first time
Colors of every spectrum and shade
In shock I let go, and what do you know––
The instant I did, the colors began to fade.
I looked at him, and he looked at me,
And at the same time, we both realized
That we'd felt the exact same thing
And we couldn't quite keep that inside.
We glanced at each other with new thoughts growing
Curious about if we held hands again
If the fading would go, and it'd finally show
And if the colors would stay on from then.
He and I promised to keep in touch
(Although that might be a literal brand)
So we exchanged numbers, names, and other small games
For excuses to just touch hands.
Finally, we traded goodbyes and went our own ways
But we later both retraced our steps
To find each other again and talk as friends
In the same place that we first met.
Now, we're a couple, and hold hands everywhere
So that we're always in touch, forever
With the world's bright face and the beautiful grace
Of the colors we love so much, and only experience together.
Based on that theory that you see black-and-white all your life, and only see colors when you find your soul mate and stick with them. Sorry that it's a bit long, but enjoy it anyway!! <3
