The Color Green

It's the color of emeralds, moss on the north sides of trees and butterfly wings. It's the color of seaweed, steams of roses, and is found sometimes in certain fruits. It was the color of your shirt on the first day we met. Bet you thought I wouldn't remember or wasn't really paying attention. It's the color of the playground we climb around on in the middle of the night. It's the color of your jacket that you let me borrow. The one I took and wrapped myself up in to fall asleep. I felt so safe and sound that night. It's the color of the ground I stand on as we hug. It's one of our schools colors, it's the color of the bleachers we sit on during pep rallies where we always smile and laugh. It's the color of our laser tag team where we were so disappointed that the hulk wasn't listed. It's the color of the light while we raced hand in hand across the street later that same night. It's the color of the grass that we sit on during lunch when we curl up and rest in the sunlight. It's the color of the leaves on mistletoe during Christmas, so peppy and perfect. But most importantly it's the color I find when I'm looking at the stars in your eyes.
