You Live in Colour, I Dream in Green

30 lines · 112 words · 2 min read

You live in colour— sunset hues etched upon your skin, a canvas vibrant, endless, loud.

I dream in green, a meadow I visit only when music plays— soft moss beneath my feet, the hum of leaves like whispered chords.

Your lips glossed with ultraviolet light, dancing in neon beats, while I breathe chlorophyll dreams, rooted in silence, growing in shadows.

For one moment of stillness— in a world too loud.

And I, I was born with chlorophyll in my lungs with melodies woven through my veins, a song in every breath.

I flinch—

Not from you— but from the fear you'll pull me out before I'm ready to wake from this dream.
