my blue
Jaya Franceschini
There was that day in May
Where your favorite color became mine
And I became yours
Sapphire brush strokes of dancing night
Falls from your cheeks
On to the floor
Turquoise in your eyes
Is a present from
The fabric of the skies
Your mind's sewn into my heart
Our souls haven't spent a life apart
My blue is a Tuesday in August
My blue is the hum of your voice
My blue is clouds that weep in surrender for you
My blue is your favorite sweater
My blue is the blush of your cheeks
Now you ask me my favorite shade
I'll say bury me in blue
So I may
Borrow your smile
For more than just a while
My blue
But now
My blue
Is the beauty of
Letting go
