“The Color of You”

Before you, there were no colors in my sky.

No story written, no reason why.

The world turned cold,

the days stood still,

I spoke in whispers,

but felt no will.

Before you, I walked without a song.

Carrying a heart that beat all wrong.

The light had left,

my dreams were few,

I was half a soul,

until you.

Then came your voice,

your tender flame,

You called my heart

and spoke my name.

You taught me how to breathe again,

To trust,

to hope,

to love the pain.
