You came into my life like a strange flood rushing in. I remember the first moment I met you, and the impression you made on me. As a first-year student just starting out at university, I was a little intimidated by you—you were just really weird! I didn’t know we’d become such good friends. CloserContinue reading “Ocean Blue”

Tortilla Brown
Let’s say I was told to name three things that I associate with you. Burritos, water and generically cute things come to mind. I know you love getting burritos at Guzman y Gomez, and cute stuff like コウペンちゃん (Koupen-chan) or Hello Kitty. The water part? Well, the only topic we seem to muster up latelyContinue reading “Tortilla Brown”
Neon Green
I have been really challenged spending more time with you. You are very different to the people I usually hang out with, and it’s definitely a big change. Not that it’s a bad thing! I think the cultural differences can be refreshing, but other times it’s a little hard I’ll admit. Like a neon greenContinue reading “Neon Green”
Stop Sign Red
I can’t believe how much you’ve changed since the last time I met you. From the rigid person who held such an authoritative presence with such intensity, uncomfortable to most, you have become this mellow man that seems to know his way around the world—you even wrote a poem! I remember the surprise I felt
Misty Purple
I don’t think I’ve ever met a purple before. This whole day, I’ve been letting my mind wander, hoping that someone would spring to mind. However, I now wonder whether such a person exists. I imagine they would be someone who plays the bass, perhaps gives off a strong aura that’s a little darker thanContinue reading “Misty Purple”
Summer Orange
I am reminded of you on Monday mornings. I walk at a leisurely pace through Darling Harbour, taking my time to enjoy the sun on my skin, breathing in the air and the music playing in my earbuds. On the Goods Line, it’s the Monarch butterflies that dance around the flowers in the flowerbeds, whichContinue reading “Summer Orange”
Charcoal Grey
From the moment I first saw you, I knew you were different to everyone else. Your demeanour, simultaneously awkward and comfortable in nature, caught my attention in the few places I saw you. I had no idea who you were and you never really stuck around to interact with anyone else, so I never talkedContinue reading “Charcoal Grey”
Canary Yellow
You carry around your phone cased in an artwork of sunflowers, showing the world a bit about you. To the world, you are most definitely a beaming canary yellow. A light that shines, revealing so much joy and excitement. You balanced out my cynicism in my younger years and I’d like to think I’ve adoptedContinue reading “Canary Yellow”
Seafoam Green
In a fantastical world of majestic and mythical creatures, I think you would be a mermaid. I don’t know why, but you just seem like the type – perhaps it’s because you can be elegant and a little playful. Elegant in how you present yourself, and playful in your jokes, which can sometimes be aContinue reading “Seafoam Green”
Maple Red
There have been a lot of people I’ve spent time with this summer, and many of them I didn’t expect would become people I love with much affection. You are one of them. Tonight I feel a little distracted and my words aren’t quite flowing right, but I hope you’ll bear with me. To theContinue reading “Maple Red”
