K, this one’s for you

This is for the first woman in my life. I will forever be grateful for her and how she showed me the way I should be treated, depsite my damaged heart fighting every step of the way. Thank you, K.

Red is for the color of your favorite sweatshirt. The one hanging in my closet. It is the way you always showed me you cared.

Orange is for the color of the leaves the first time we had coffee. It is the kindness you showed me.

Yellow is for the caution I had with you. It is the timid fear of this being a first for me, and your way of understanding that.

Green is for the color of the grass the day we went to my favorite place. It is the way you always gave me your time.

Blue is for the color of your car, and the uniform you wore when I watched you play the sport you love. It is the softness you granted me.

Purple is for the way you treated me, like royalty. It is how you reminded me of the way I should be treated everyday.
