esperides:

colours;

violet: the one that makes you a feel rumble from under your skin, undeniable, electric, your head spins when you see them, takes you by storm, has you tongue tied and frustrated

white: the one that’s always there, running unstained through the years, soft, protective, you can’t take your eyes off them, you’re on their side no matter what, waiting endlessly

scarlet: the stranger, accidental eye contact turns into ambiguous lingering glances, sometimes you suddenly remember the blur of their face, fades in a day like fireworks

amber: the friend, sparkling, too brilliant, makes you want to become a better person, starts from admiration but before you know it it’s different, kept forever a secret

navy: the one you can’t forget, whose name wanders into your thoughts sometimes, a song plays and you remember their voice, romanticising the past, hoping for a day you might run into them again

peach: the first one, soft pink laughter, innocent, the sweetness of hoping, makes you smile, a pretty memory, faded love letters, youth
