Black and White
His Instagram feed is black and white; all the photos edited to reflect an abyss of feelings, waiting to be let out, but bottled up for the sake of society.
He is sad.
Until, a splash of pink. Perhaps an editing choice, to leave the beautiful sunset in color, behind his black and white body.
Until, a splash of blue. Perhaps an editing choice, to let the ocean flow freely behind his black and white body.
Until, a splash of green. Perhaps an editing choice, to let the grass in spring flourish behind his black and white body.
Until, her. In full color, radiant, reflecting joy and freedom, holding his hand, watching the sunset from the shore, nothing in black and white.
She taught him happiness: in the skies, in the sea, in the earth beneath his feet. He radiates her happiness. I think they are the happiest people in the world.
Love is in the world around us. Love is in happiness. Love is in color.
