when i first met you
i thought that you were only
a beautiful pastel pink
but as i have gotten to know you
i have learnt that souls
can be painted with more than one color
all at once, you are a light pastel pink
giving me feelings of hope
but you are also a happy yellow
making my face crack into a grin
at the mere mention of your name
and you are the bright magenta paint
in my favorite watercolor set
exciting and full of life
the pages of my worn out
sketchbook
are overflowing
with
shades of you
and for once
i am excited
and hopeful
for
tomorrow
-n.c
