Blue

It's the color staring back at you from the shore. One step. It is the color of the piercing cold at your feet. Two steps. It is the color that his never left you alone, all your life. Three steps. It is the color of your fingertips in the winter. Four steps. It is the color of the name that passes their lips. It's wrong. Five steps. It is the color of your first loves eyes. Six steps. It is the feeling of her abandonment. Seven steps. It is the feeling of getting out of bed at 8:00 AM. Eight steps. It is the everlasting bitter cold of the water. Nine steps. It is not a feeling you'll feel when you're gone. Ten steps.
