she wore a blue dress
and my heart lurched without me even realizing it
she is the blue in my life
she reminds me of vast oceans and french hydrangeas
she is everything pure and everything beautiful
her dark brown roots and the highlights in her hair that have long faded away
her smile has the ability to shine brighter than the morning sun
her eyes reflecting that gorgeous Indian rosewood colour that enchanted me so long ago
she deserves the world
and I’d give up the air in my lungs just to give it to her
she makes it so difficult not to fall for her
and anyone would be a fool not to
she is resilient and confident
with more elegance than a 1500s princess
the radiant beauty she possesses could bring even the strongest of men to their knees
perhaps I have no right to feel this way for her
after all I am so beneath her
that I feel like sometimes I do not even deserve to look at her
but I can’t seem to pull my attention away from her
because the honest truth is
she is the most beautiful girl to ever exist in this life
and her love would be greater than gold
she wore a blue dress
and it embodied everything beautiful that I know she is
