orange.

it was all i wanted.

orange of the sunset

as i held onto him

and he held onto me.

orange of the cheesey grins

that we'd exchange

when either of us

is sad, or unwell, or angry

because it melts the ice

and makes us warm again.

orange of the relief

that i felt

when he saved me

from the monster

i had tried to escape

for so long.

his orange felt more homely

than the orange things

that the monster bought for me.

his orange was more comforting

than the way that

the monster's orange would

tie me down.

i hated orange.

then i didn't.
