shades of life Peyton Bell
we have lived many shades of life, you and I.
when I was young I was bright pink like bubblegum, like faces after running I imagine you were violet that was your favorite color when we met and there were glimpses of it in the childhood photos we shared with laughter and lipgloss when we got older we were yellow. when I looked at you I saw the best parts of me reflected like sunlight in my bedroom window. we were quilted creatures lingering on summerish nothings, on the simple divinity of belonging. then one morning we were not who we used to be.
