Love Is Red

Red is the color of our blood. Because we bleed for those we love. Red is the color of our heart. Because when we love it becomes a gift. Red is unconditional. Red is spiritual. Red is energetic. Red is unwavering. You and me are Red. Because you and me are love, are loving and in the movement of love. I loved you in small ways. I loved you in large ways. I loved you in the between ways. I loved you when you didn’t know how to be sad. I loved you when all you could do was be angry. I loved you when you were scared. I loved you when you were so clear and sure. I loved you when you were at your best. I loved you when you were at your worst. That Red when you grasped my hand calling in my own Red, grounding into myself, I can be my own and be with you. That Red when we spoke from across the room, people between us like a river, but I could hear you as if you were whispering in my ear. That Red when we just needed to hear each other’s voices, that Red frequency. I loved you up close and in orbit – gravitational momentum, my god, that Red with you is gravity. I love you unconditionally, I love you unwaveringly. All this love just because.
