White is the color of the dress you wear only once.
The color of clouds as they drift across the sky,
And the color of snow, so rare and beautiful.

Blue is the color of the bedroom you lived in.
The color of the ocean you always long for,
And the color of the eyes you will always love.

Yellow is the color of the flowers kept in the vase.
The color of the light always leaking through the window,
And the color of the hair you only see in photographs.

Black is the color of the nights you stay up to see.
The color of the dog always curled by your feet,
And the color of the goodbye still lingering on your lips.
