That day,

You stood above me

In the noisy classroom.

You said something harsh, which I can't seem to remember

Oh, I thought to myself, was that rude... or confident?

And I asked myself, what are you?

That day,

You stood next to me

In the slow-pouring rain.

You offered me an umbrella, whose color I can't seem to remember

Oh, I thought to myself, was that embarrassing... or romantic?

And I asked myself, what are you?

That day,

You stood before me

In the busy hallway.

You spared me a kind smile and a nod, May 5th , I remember.

Oh, I thought to myself, was that polite... or cute?

And I asked myself, what are you?

That day,

You stood above me

In the quiet classroom, because all I could hear was you.

You caught me looking again, and again, and again—

Oh, I thought to myself, was that confident... or rude?

Now, you always stood above me,

And gave me a flushed smile when I said thank you—

Oh, I thought to myself, was that romantic... or embarrassing?

That day,

You stood before me

In the busy hallway, but all I could see was you.

I looked at you, you looked at me, and we continued

Oh, I thought to myself, was that cute... or polite?

And I asked myself, what have you done to me?

We were standing far away, When he came to me and said, "Pink." I blushed and asked, "What?" He said, "The pink sunrise gleamed on your soft cheeks, and I couldn't help but feel it too."

We were standing close, When he said, "Blue." I giggled and asked, "What?" He said, "Beneath the sky your blue eyes stood while the waves caressed you, and I couldn't help but feel it too."

We were standing close, too close, When he said, "Red." I smiled and asked, "What?" He said, "Above the red sunset, a beautiful dress enveloped your body; with it, the red lipstick ensnared your lips, and I couldn't help but feel it too."

We were standing far away, too far away, When he walked away and said, "Black." I asked, "What?"

The sun had already set, and today, I couldn't help but feel it too.
