Color Blind

Did I ever tell you I was color blind?

It's hard for me differentiate between shades and hues

Reds are just reds and yellows are just yellows

Oranges and purples and greens and blues

All the colors just look so simple to me

Except when I'm thinking about you

I see scarlet and cerulean and dandelion

I see maroon and periwinkle and teal

Life is breathed into once lifeless colors

To see you is only trumped by the ability to feel

Your skin under my fingers as I hold you

I press my lips on yours to seal the deal

It was never just a black and white world

But the colors were never as vibrant to me

Now I am surrounded by the depths of the world

I can experience to universe as it is meant to be

I know what life feels like to actually live it

I know what it's like to actually see
