i liked the color red,
it reminded me of sunsets and the shade of her favorite lipstick.
It was the color of the roses i bought for her on our first date,
and the color of the wine we ordered.
I liked the color red because it was the color of her favored underwear,
the ones that were lace but had a rip on the right side from the day she was in a fight with her ex boyfriend.
i liked the color because it was the fire that burned in me from where she left me heartbroken.
