Color me into the sky
The blues and pastels
You choose will
Come to define me
I've been many colors before
Many things in many eyes
But in your eyes
The hues melt away
You see the real me
I've never experienced that before
The unblotched, unblemished, me
That brushes your cheek in notes of red
The me that quivers after every kiss
Or turns blue after spending too long
Out in the sea
The unvarnished, unpolished, me
I've tried to hide in so many ways
You see the real me
I've never experienced that before
And I love you for it
