Cobalt blue

Loving him was like driving in circles

Wind blowing in my hair, going nowhere

Loving him was like trying to decide

What to do while doing it

Foam on the sea, dissolving

Losing him was green, though I didn’t know it yet

Missing him was blue

Leaving him was like understanding

That way leads on to way

Loving him was blue

Touching him was like tracing paths

That had been travelled before

Memorizing him was like naming  

What wasn’t yours to say

Fighting with him was like chasing shadows

It came to naught

Regretting him was like wishing you didn’t know

I told you so

Losing him was green, though I didn’t know it yet

Missing him was blue

Leaving him was like understanding

That way leads on to way 

Because loving him was blue

Remembering him when certain songs play

On the radio

Moving on was possible

A long time ago

Swimming

There were clues 

Losing him was green, though I didn’t know it yet

Missing him was blue

Leaving him was like understanding

That way leads on to way

Because loving him was blue

Cobalt blue

And that’s why he was on my mind

Not my best find

His love was like driving around in circles

Going nowhere

But it made all the difference
