You remind me of by Riian

Y

You remind me of the colour, Orange.

Like the sun

On a good Eve.

 

Of the colour, Brown.

Like warm hugs and soft kisses

Like coffee on a cold morn’

 

Of the colour, Blue.

Calm, beautiful,

and true.

 

You remind me of the colour, Orange.

Faint, soft

The hue your skin has taken on.

 

Of the colour, Brown.

Somber, sad

The mood your eyes now mirror

 

Of the colour, Blue.

Cold, sterile

The colour on the walls everywhere I turn

 

You remind me of the colour, Orange.

Warm, happy, homely, like a cottage

 

Of the colour, Brown.

Like the cold earth between my fingers

 

Of the colour, Blue.

Like the sky on the day you died.
