He asked me how i felt about my gift. I answered "My gift makes me feel accomplished, special, and so much more. But i also hate it. I have nobody to share it with, nobody understands."
"Make me understand."
"I don't know how."
"Please? I want to know more. I want to imagine it."
I sighed in defeat. "Well where should i begin?"
"What are they called?"
I laughed. I forgot nobody but those who had the gift knew what the colors were called, half of them didnt even know they existed.
"Well there's a lot of them. Black, white, gray, green, blue, purple, yellow, pink, orange, brown, and more."
"What are they like?"
"You cant really describe a color."
"Then describe the feeling."
I looked at him curiously, and he just stared back.
"Hmm....black. Black is a lot of things. In some cases its darkness and evil. In others its mystery and night....this sounds stupid."
"No, its interesting. Please dont stop."
"Well white....white is the opposite. White is innocence and purity. It's a virgin, its a newborn, its clean, not ruined by influences. Gray is the middle color. It's black and white mixed. It's when you cant tell between good or bad. It's also the color you guys see."754Please respect copyright.PENANAbvhmmqbQAL
"We actually see a color?"
"Yes, in a sense."
"Well what are the other colors like?"754Please respect copyright.PENANAGmc6OX0nVX
"Red. Red is many things. It's passion, and anger. Some also say it's love, but i believe pink is the color of love. Red is more of.....lust. There's blue too. Blue is cool. Blue is the coolness and relief of water on a hot day. But its also sadness. That's why when your upset people say 'You have the blues'"754Please respect copyright.PENANAMszIAFkzQr
"Really?? That's why?"
"Ya."
"That makes soo much sense!!" I giggled at his response.
"Purple is....."754Please respect copyright.PENANAnKOeXjkoms
"Ann Marie!!" What have i told you about talking this nonsense to others??"
The boy whispered in my ear. "She seems a little red." We laughed together and ran away to play...saving the rest of the colors for another day.
