today, i saw blue. i woke up in the morning and looked in the mirror, and and there it was in my eyes, i saw blue. i could see the reflection of the pain stuck in my eyes, and the blue of my heart. i got up and went outside, and there is was again. i saw blue. it was like a blanket covering the sky, I walked down the street and i saw people wore blue, like many so was I but my blue was worn in the inside keeping me a secret from everyone else. hiding behind a smile that told a story of the blue in my heart. maybe it was my blood or my blood contaminated by the blue, but at some point there was no other colour my eyes could see. i saw the BLUE, and it got stuck to my soul like glue, every scar, every wound, they all bled, and they all bled blue. sad but true, the blue follows me everywhere that i go.

There was something beautiful in the way that the words constantly hovered on the tip of Lauren's tongue, at the edge of her breath. Something beautiful in the way Lauren's eyes spoke every single one of them, each time she looked at Ally. (or, Lauren has a new camera and Ally is her favorite subject.)
