i saw him
when i saw him, it wasn't physical appearance
i saw him
he was beautiful, in all of his colors
i saw
blue
red
green
yellow
purple
i was astonished
when i touched him
the colors hit me in a wave of rainbow
i could feel who he was
who he was meant to be
touches turned to late night conversations
where i could listen to the colors
listen to the blue he spilled
listen to the red he spilled
listen to the green he spilled
listen to the yellow he spilled
listen to the purple he spilled
his chorus of words entered my brain
in a wave of rainbow
i soon began to anticipate every moment i had
every little caress
every little call
i began to become jealous of the rain
for it touched his skin when i couldn't
i began to become jealous of the night
for it spent the night with him when i couldn't
i began to become jealous of the sun
for it kissed his skin when i couldn't
he became my life force
the reason i was still breathing
i was in love
i am in love
present tense.
