I picked my red dress to wear today
Not sure why
It felt like a red day
Found that red heart necklace
Clasped it ‘round my neck
Stood back and smiled
Put a red bracelet on my wrist
Might as well complete the style
Thought twice about that poem
About answering that prompt
Because what if even just a little breath
Is enough to cause its death?
The red of the notification
Finally arrived
I wondered what had happened to time
I clicked on the app
Called Snap
Saw a red heart next to your face
Smiled and thought I’ve moved up a place
But the words that I read
After seeing so much red
Were not words I expected
I sent you a chat
I heard nothing back
I realized then
When I breathed it life
This delicate thing
Would not breathe again
It’s not cool that I said all that
It’s not chill that it’s in my head
It’s dead
Isn’t it?
Isn’t it?
💔
Red, Taylor Swift
Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street
Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly
Loving him is like trying to change your mind
Once you’re already flying through the free fall
Like the colors in autumn, so bright, just before they lose it allLosing him was blue, like I’d never known
Missing him was dark gray, all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know
Somebody you never met
But loving him was red
Loving him was redTouching him was like realizing all you ever wanted
Was right there in front of you
Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words
To your old favorite song
Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword
And realizing there’s no right answer
Regretting him was like wishing you never found out
That love could be that strongLosing him was blue, like I’d never known
Missing him was dark gray, all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know
Somebody you never met
But loving him was red
Oh, red
Burning redRemembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes
Tell myself it’s time now gotta let go
But moving on from him is impossible
When I still see it all in my head
In burning red
Burning, it was redOh, losing him was blue, like I’d never known
Missing him was dark gray, all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know
Somebody you never met
‘Cause loving him was red
Yeah, yeah, red
Burning redAnd that’s why he’s spinning ’round in my head
Comes back to me, burning red
Yeah, yeah
His love was like driving a new Maserati down a dead end streetSource: Musixmatch
