Red

Loving you was like breathing life into a deflated stretched out balloon
Blew out everything I had, tried to breathe back in, but it all went wrong
Loving you was like landing in the sky without even leaving the ground
Not sure when I jumped, but it was high enough, no longer bound

Losing you is blue like my tear filled eyes
Missing you is dark like storm filled skies 
Everything you said is floating around my head
I could never forget how loving you was red

Touching you was feeling my heart beat in another skin
Feeling you was knowing I'd never have to be lost again
Fighting you is like tearing into my own flesh 
My own words razor marks always newly fresh

I tell myself "I'm wrong
My feelings are just a song
I won't be like this for long"

Can we just move on? 

I still love you in red.
