Why’d You Have To Wear Green?

Today would be hard

Knew it right from the start

I hadn't seen you

Since it all fell apart

Instead of primping my hair

I was prepping my heart

"Remember the pain

The hurt when he left

How falling for him

Left you feeling bereft

He ran with your heart

And got away with his theft"

Ready to face you

It was time to convene

What happened next

I could've never foreseen

Stepping out of the truck

You were dressed all in green

The strength I had built

It just couldn't stay

With the sight of you there

Taking my breath away

Who knew that a color

Could ruin this day

The hue of your sweater

Made your eyes shine

Brought back all the times

They would stare into mine

The feelings that stirred

No words could define

With matching hat on

You looked like a dream

Stealing my strength

I knew I'd never redeem

All I wanted to say was

Why'd you have to wear green?
