Beautiful Blue

the water
was the most beautiful shade of blue
like the color your eyes become when it snows
and if I could I would have jumped in 
letting the bubbles cushion my descent to the lake bottom 
and if I could
I would have pulled you in with me 
to watch those magnificent eyes of yours
as their color changes 
and if I could
I would have brushed those lips of yours with my own 
and if I could I would have held my breath
until my face turned blue
the most beautiful shade 
of blue 
if I could 
I would have held you close
before letting you walk away 
and if I could 
I would have painted your cheeks with a blush 
and made your eyes widen with my words 
if I could 
but I cant 
cause the past 
is now just blue tinted memories
and they are oh, 
​the most beautiful shade of blue.
