I have a friend who says 

when you love someone 

you know, without thinking, 

the color of their eyes. 

Hers were blue. 

In eight years, 

She could never tell you that mine 

were brown. 

But she has an attention span 

of a goldfish,

so we laughed it off as a cute quirk.

My eyes are fucking brown. 

It's the most basic eye color

in the world. 

Even if she guessed the odds 

would have been in her favor, 

but she never even tried.
