blue

 blue 

love is associated with red
red is associated with roses, hearts and
two sets of lips binding together

but I associate love with blue
that's the colour of your eyes
and the colour that runs through your veins

blue is the colour that's left on your tongue
after you've indulged too many sweets
and blue is the colour of the ink
that writes your letters to me

blue is your favourite colour
but my favourite colour is you
