Black and White (Color)

Folder: 
2017

What if people could only see in black and white?

Until they fell in love

And then they could see colors.

 

The color could happen gradually

While falling in love,

Or all at once.

 

Some people might never see color.

Some people would be born seeing color.

And others, like me, would see both.

 

When the love is gone

The world would go back to

Being black and white.

 

The color could fade

Just as quickly as it appeared,

Or one day it might just disappear.

 

I see color when I am with you,

Or even when I think about you.

The black and white is just a memory.

 

I’ve seen color before,

But my favorite color

Is you.

 

I don’t miss the black and white.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen it

And I hope it stays away

 

 

Now that I’ve seen color

I can’t imagine going back.

Black and white is too lonely.

 

You're not my only color,

But you are the best color.

And I hope that it never fades.

Nice Motiff

"nice" is one of my highest accolades, by the way - but I write fantasy so imagine a way to encourage love or be without colors has a firm foundation. It carries a lot of variations: fading, disappearing - well penned - Fun to read - different twist on love - fresh! - slc
