you once asked me

what my favorite color was.

i said blue without hesitation,

even though i had no idea

how it seemed.

i heard people saying that

you had blue eyes

and since then,

i knew it was my favorite.

because your eyes are my favorite.

i knew i lied,

because blue is not my color.

but i'm sure if i could even see blue,

it would be.

because, my love,

your eyes are my favorite tone of grey.
