that shade of blue

a poem by Nova Starling

I always hated that shade of blue. Maybe because it is the color of hard     goodbyes and broken hearts. Perhaps because it was the color of the     sky when I left the first time. Or maybe it is the same shade as the     ocean I let separate us.

I fell in love with that shade of blue. It is the color of your eyes when they     light up at the sight of me. It is the color of the cold nights I spent     cuddled up against you. It is the color of the flowers you brought     me after our first fight.

It has ruined me, that shade of blue. It is the color of the eyes I took for granted     when they were still open. It is the color of the shivers I get when you     cannot keep me warm. It is the color of the flowers I bring to tell     you that I still love you.

All of this because it is only that shade     of blue that reminds me of the times when     there was the possibility of me and you.
