Color blind

I never
Considered
How you might feel
About the autumn
I took you
(For granted)
Time and again

It's nice how
The leaves change color
(I tried to describe
Them as best I could)
You were always
Color blind

But you always liked
My eyes (Ice blue
With a hint of green)

I couldn't
Understand your
Ways with words
I never tried
To listen with my heart
(I didn't know back then
That's how it was done)

You loved the sunset
With the moon hanging
Slightly to the side
(So pale next to
Perrywinkle)

You could see
The fire then
The raging of yellow
And red blended
To make a perfect
Orange cast against
A fading sky

And I would just
Sit
(So silently)
Listening to you
Breathe
Like a whisper
From a shadowed mountain
Aching for warmth
Of the coming day

I forgot
What it was like
To be jealous

I always wanted
For you to see me
Like you see the sunsets
And the mountains
(Or even the settling
Leaves)

You were color blind
To the things you
Wanted to be
You were never
Color blind
To me
