My Favorite Color

He asked me what my favorite color was. I didn't have one. his was blue and he said that he'd love me forever if mine was blue too. Now whenever people ask what my favorite color is, I always answer blue even though he isn't here to smile and say "I knew it".

 

Someone once told me I was like the color yellow because I was always so happy and excited. They asked if it was my favorite color. I said yes because I was glad that my mask was working. I was glad no one could see haw sad and angry and empty I was. My favorite color became yellow.

 

Last week, my best friend took me to bath and body works because thy had a sale and he knows I love candles. He picked up one and said "This reminds me of you. It smells like the perfume you use." He put it back and we left. I came back the next day and bought it. It had purple wax and a purple cover. When he asked what my favorite color was the next day, I said purple.

 

My cousin has always treated me like her little sister even from across the country. She is finally happy now. I haven't heard form her in months. The last time we talked, she joked with me about how I wanted to pain my room pink. She said that she couldn't see it because I had never been a 'pink girl'. No one asked but now, my favorite color is light pink.

 

I ran into an old friend yesterday. He stopped and got coffee with me. I pulled out mt phone to check the time and he grinned and said, "I knew it. Your favorite color is still blue." I could only smile because I wasn't sure if it was.
