you brought color

into my world

of grays that

had never

experienced such

vivid color before

and for that

I will always be thankful

you accepted me as I was

and for the first time I

felt beautiful just as I was

and for that

I will always be thankful

you introduced me to

spontaneity

a concept that my

monotone being

had never known before

and for that

I will always be thankful

you gave me memories that I

never thought possible with

someone so soulful

and for that

I will always be thankful

you put a melody into

my muted heart

and jumpstarted an

overwhelming joy in it

and for that

I will always be thankful

you created new

feelings

emotions

excitements

hopes

thresholds

vulnerabilities

dreams

in my soul for

the first time

you made a hug

feel like home

a safe place

wrapped in forever

and for that

I'll always be thankful

and I will always remember

when my world held

the best of times

and

the beauty of color.
