Have you ever seen an unnatural rainbow?
It's the one that comes out of the prism and the one that's merely sun's reflection on gasoline and the one that's created when the sun stealths through our door's magical eye. They all look so similar to the natural one that I sometimes mix them up and end up eating shadows.
Your rainbow, though, was different. It tasted oddly like dead flowers and decayed milk. It was perky, jumpy and supernatural. So supernatural that I could not compete or even keep pace. I thought that maybe if I could capture a star or some sun beams and mix them with your rainbow then it might taste better, but I failed; I was never a stars' hunter.
I've tried to experience cocoa beans and coffee powder but still no improvement was achieved so I left it as it was originally because I was worried it soon will start making copies and I won't be the only one who has tasted it.
"After the storm shines the rainbow"
I spent too many years convincing myself of this quote's honesty until I have stopped believing that cruelty existes. But they say rainbows are the sun rays being separated as they pass through rain drops, then how come my florins light never does that as it passes through my tears?
Now, this quote makes no sense. If storms create rainbows then why tears never create smiles? Oh, maybe because tears are salty or too warm to break anything into pieces or maybe because tears are never enough to water flowers.
You've ended the storm but I see no rainbow in the distance, not even a change of the grey,black and white colors. Did you forget your brush? because I can lend you mine though it's broken and only paints in blue & I like it. You don't like blue, you like purple and I've just noticed that blue is a primary color while purple is secondary & this makes all the difference in the world, it shows why I was never your priority; you were jealous I might surpass you in colors' field.
Now I understand why the sun is always yellow, it's the queen and though it's warm and you love it... I feel cold & blue & you hate me.
Please understand it was never about colors or supernatural rainbows... it was about love & hearts with broken pieces... it was about you & me and our purplish-blue world & cold suns and how opposite we are.
That's why I forgot you.
