I was a deep blue,
like the wide sky,
on a clear morning.
Calm, and mellow.

You were a bright yellow,
like those sunflowers,
hitting on the hot sun.
Fresh, and flirty.

Together,
we'd be a lush green,
like those pastures,
on the river banks.
Fiesty, and lively.

Too bad,
you fell for his riches,
royal like purple.
Both of you,
make a dark brown,
like those fallen timbers.
Dead, and dreary.

Would you have
given me a chance,
if I were Royal Blue?
