Blue Was Always Him

Since the moment I was born, I never truly knew What my favourite color was. When someone asked, I always said purple, But deep down, purple was never truly mine. Then one day, out of nowhere, A boy casually asked me, "What's your favourite color?" I hesitated, so I let him guess. And he guessed the color “BLUE!” And suddenly, a flood of memories rushed in— The endless blue sky, the crashing blue ocean waves, And the song BLUE by Yung Kai playing in my mind. I was so lost in searching for my colour, I never realized I had loved blue all along. The boy who helped me find my favourite color Is my lover, the one I’m with, We talk like soulmates, understand each other like best friends. He is the reason blue feels like home, The reason the sky looks softer, And the ocean waves whisper a song only we understand. Our connection feels like we’ve been together forever. Maybe that’s why blue isn’t just my favourite color anymore— It’s a feeling, a memory, a piece of him I carry forever. -Spandanaaa
