Purple

By Rithu Prabhu

I smile when I see the purple flowers near my bed

It gives me the feeling of peace that I never get

When I see the various other colors in the sky

The purple feels closest to my heart I don’t know why

Sometimes I wonder if it is true

That the purple stands for you

The way it reflects your nobility

makes me respect you even more

The purple ocean follows you all around

From Sydney to Seattle, it never ends I say

Whichever path you go, I stick to you

I must say, you influence me in every way

Your eyes and persona says it all

That you’ll never leave me alone with no one at all

I believe the promise that you have made

That you’ll stay with me till the end of the game

I don’t know how I can live without you

I can’t stay one day without hearing you

I know I can’t hold on to you forever

But please don’t go away altogether
