Spectrum of a Personality

budding, wilting, sighing, sweeping—

green was the way you made me feel.

wondering, dreaming, trying, being—

blue was the way I wanted to be.

kissing, crying, loving, deepening—

red was the way your love swept me up.

dousing, cresting, flying, cascading—

violet was the way I wanted our love to shift.

rising, becoming, yielding, blossoming—

orange was the way you saw me grow.

setting, blazing, burning, changing—

yellow was the way you thought I'd leave.

sleeping, darkening, consuming, gathering—

indigo was the way we brought each other together.

arching, maddening, jolting, exciting—

the rainbow was the way we held on despite the odds.
