GREY [loving you; told in colors]

Grey.
I didn't know you. You were just a blurry face in a crowd, a message on a screen.
Yellow.
We were friends. I called you and we shared secrets until the sun rose high into the morning sky.
Pink.
Your laugh. The way you made butterflies show up inside my stomach. I was falling and somehow, I knew you'd be there to catch me.
Red.
I loved you. I loved your eyes, your voice. You're art.
Blue.
This is when I fell out love. I stopped smiling at cheesy jokes and stopped wanting to wake up in the mornings.
Purple.
The color of the bruises I gave myself. I couldn't love you and I tore myself apart because of it. Regret.
Grey.
I began ignoring your phone calls. We stopped talking. I don't even remember your laugh. We were strangers again.
