Pencil Romance

I tried writing our story in pen 

because in high school

black and white seems more practical 

when we're young they tell us that love will last forever

since love is sharing crayons and holding hands when you cross the street

 now it's pencil for math and pen for English 

and there's no room for coloring outside the lines

how am I supposed to live in black and white

when I've got you

 with your chocolate eyes and silver touch

when you say my name and then I'm every shade of pink

I'm a blue and no one seems to like it

but your orange compliments make me feel like we're meant to be

and sleep is lavender when I'm dreaming of you

this time I'll make sure to mess up and throw away the eraser

because your the best accident that I ever made

so darling, please pass me the crayons
