Work Text:
I stare at you.
Thinking while you drift through the passing time of space.
All those times when I tried to look away.
All those times when I tried to stop.
I cant help but look back to that red, hoping to see that same color I once did.
That dashing, vibrant red color fades into a cruel shade of gray.
Its a gray ever so mercilessly, it makes me feel foolish to even try to look back at you.
I tried to remember that red, but now its gone and so are you.
I tried to see that beautiful color I once yearned for.
A
color
I
had
loved.
Now it is won and gone, replaced with a shade of gray.
I tried to see that color as it once was.
I tried,
I tried,
I tried.
