Red is the colour of love.
Red is his shield, mixed with blue and white, protecting him, protecting the world from horror and pain.
Red is your face when you first move to kiss him, when he responds, when you breathe the same air he breathes.
Red is your heart, that beating, pulsing organ, filled with blood, with love, overflowing; with red, red, red. Beating, jumping out of your chest with his every touch.
Red is the blood that falls in crimson drops as you lie on the ground, watching him walk away. Leaving you like trash, on the floor where you belong.
Red- your eyes filled with eternal, unshed tears, for days, for months after he has left you.
Red- his lips, his smile as he turns towards you. Gathers you in his arms, kisses you like he'll never stop, like this is forever, like he'll never let go. Never again.
Red is the colour of forgiveness.
Red is the colour of love.
