forbidden colours



before going back to sleep she stopped what she was doing, thought of him, and smiled. But once asleep she completely forgot him, and could only remember the blue in her heart, because she knew it was forbidden to show his face to anyone, even to herself.

the wounds on your hands would not heal. if only i could forget time for an hour, he thought. she said something, sent him words in a blue bottle, but it was lost in translation. how strange that none of that mattered now. something was said, and it was unknowable. he understood it, or imagined he understood it, by the tone of her voice, just as one understands a certain colour can be 'sad'.

I'd say the red can never be overcome...the blue mourned the loss of the red.
