You became a lesson to me,

Not a blessing in disguise.

Nothing can justify what you did.

Because of what I learned from my ignorant love,

I cannot respond when a man asks me my favorite color.

In fact, I hated myself for the longest time because I could not force

A new favorite.

I did not want it to be purple anymore since you had bought me

Flowers of the same color, sent and drew me hearts with it.

I did not want my favorite color to have anything to do with you.

I wanted it untainted.
