i
was colorblind.
i
could only see black and white. sometimes both. they said it was called grey.
but
that day i met you, everything turned pink. i knew it was pink because they too
said that pink was affectionate, sweet, and pretty.
and
oh boy was it the prettiest color i had ever seen!
they
told me that the furious red got an addition of a lot of pure, innocent white.
that was how the two colors mixed, creating this pretty spectrum of pale pink.
from
then on, slowly but surely, i started to see more colors.
i
noticed that you shone with yellow, just like the sun when i looked up at the
sky. whenever you smiled, i could taste the energy of joy and happiness. i had
known in an instant that yellow would be my favorite color.
thirty
sunsets later, we watched the sunset like we always did. i had never really
seen the color of orange before because that time, i just saw orange for the
first time. it started from the tip of your fingers, and when you touched mine,
it streamed all the way down. from the warmth it was giving me, i almost
thought it was red. the next time i knew, we were completely blanketed in nice,
comfortable, and warm orange.
when
i discovered red, i discovered it not only once, but twice. both of them
involved us screaming at each other. the first one, we did it with reason. the
red was on your skin, and mine, your lips when it touched mine, your chest, and
suddenly, the bed was covered in the passion and desire of the color red.
the
second time, we screamed for no reason. and fast. really fast. you saw red in
the count of seconds, heart shattering moments, and loud bang of door.
red took
you away from me.
when
you finally walked out of my life, i saw blue. it was never the sky or the
ocean they always described how blue would be, because otherwise, it would be
pretty. it was not at all. it was the cool blue. the kind of blue that sent
chills and sadness down your spine.
the ugly blue.
i
can see colors now, but they are dimmer than they used to be. these colors
seemed a lot brighter when i was with you. i guess everything was.
