What do I do in this black and white world, when the person to show me the color is fading?

Once my tears painted me color, but the tears I just cried turned to gray.

My color slowly begins to fade away like him.  Tears fill my once green eyes to turn them gray again.  

They slowly move down my cheek, leaving nothing but a path of black and white.  

This black and white world is harsh like the words you spoke.

My heart is now cold and black as it was once seen to be.  

You say I only cry, but crying is the only thing i know how to do.

The kisses you gave, the words you used to say, made my tears color, my tears of joy.  

But these tears are black and white, like the rest of this black and white world.  

I close my eyes slowly, remembering the words you used to say.  

Remember when you used to see past my eyes, into my soul? I do.  

But our color has faded like you have.  We fell back into this black and white world, letting the black and white people over come us.

But I still hold on, for I know together the color will show again.  

We can release it, we did it once, we can do it again.  

So I now lay low in this black and white world, for I am also black and white again.  

Without you, I have no color.  

I'm just like the rest of this black and white world.
