he asked me "what's your favorite color?"
my reply was simple—one word even. him.
him with his brown eyes
mischievous, sparkling, and mysterious all at once
him with that smirk
that every time you see it you can't look away
him with what seems to be
an equal amount of self love and yet also self doubt
which seems to make for a perfect combination
him with his quirkiness and indifference to what people think of him
him who appears to care more about his friends than himself
him who makes corny stupid jokes
yet also has steadfast opinions and a fascination with paint.
this all is him and this is why he is my favorite color.
everything about him screams different colors—
his eyes gleam with brown and black
his confidence with the color yellow for how bright it is
his quirkiness with teal for how beautiful and unique he is
need I say more?
