Think green feel blue

when they had to leave 
he had tears in his eyes 

but he said to her.. 

you better keep your smile.. 

music in their hearts 

captured in hushed moments 

moved to laughter and tears.. 

real, true 

missed beats out of time.. 

strung between two hearts.. 

recognized.. treasured.. cherished.. 

captured implacably

She felt something missing.. 

Her heart skipped a beat.. 

as almost in panic 

she thought of a promise unspoken.. 

She couldn't really keep.. 

She could hear the parrots complaining.. thoughts don't help them any.. 

they wanna think green i'm sure... 

when all they feel is blue.. 

She can almost feel their protest.. 

it's just not fair.. 

and she can't help smiling.. 

will someone tell that dopey guy 

what even the parrots realize.. 

hey, how could it ever be otherwise.. 

they are all there.. 

a stardust of emotions.. 

a rainbow of smiles.. 

a moonbeam of hope.. 

amidst pure sunshine.. 

He’s pure poetry for sure, 

and she is writing all the time..

She tries to capture yet miss that essence.. alas, yes, as her smile keeps getting lost 

in thoughts of him.. 

and she fights a losing battle 

with her words.. 

that just wanted to say all along..

 'i miss you'..
