Shades of Crimson.

And as a sea of people flood this stifling place,
I only sea one thing; one face.
Calling your name in my head, wishing you'd turn back,
But you can't hear me, you move on.
as I watch you fade into the crowd, new faces emerge.
Still yours burns the brightest in my mind, crimson.
I wish I could move on, see new colors.
I want to focous on the deepest greens and blues,
but all I see are scarlets and maroons, your hues.
six years burnt into my retinas, all I can see today.
Hours pass like seconds, all is lost in time.
I know I should have given up years ago,
But deep down inside, where only you have been,
You remain, the most delicate red, pulsating,
Alive.
