Pink

You

Remember when we first met

Under that cloudless sky

With its fascinatingly calm tint

That tint was pink.

Remember when I first saw your eyes

They burned into mine with life

Stars were still shining in them

They were bright pink.

Remember the cherry blossom tree

Under which we were seated

Shy giggles escaped your lips

As the rain was baby pink.

Remember what you wore that day

Silky long dress, satin ribbons

Gloss on lips, blush on cheeks

They were all lady pink.

Remember that soft flowerbed?

I lie now in it, clutching the memories

Your passionate love in these flowers

They grew from your blood red, but they blossomed pink.
