The world was draped in indigo hues,
as I wandered through it all with you.
I opted for different,
enticed by its call,
nature’s shades beckoning,
inviting us all.
I asked him what it meant to see,
through the eyes of those he’d be.
He never knew the calm of air and sea;
for him, life blazed in vibrant green.
You wept when I chose novelty and play,
tossed us aside without delay.
You cried when I decided on novelty and fun–
threw us away and jumped the gun.
I cried because, all too well, I knew:
The grass isn’t always greener,
when all I want is blue.
