Colorimetry

I am the red.  You are the blue.  Basic color theory tells us that together we make purple.  The purple is where we come together as human beings and create a hue that is unique to us.  So much of our time together is in blending to create that perfect purple.  The trouble is we each see color differently, have a distinct picture of what our ideal shade looks like. And so we mess with the saturation:  You might think we need a red that is a little more jewel-toned; maybe I think your blue should be slightly deeper, because, oh, that shade we’d create together would be nothing less than stunning.

What if, instead, we simply put our colors together and live in the blend we make as we are?  What if we find that sweet spot in our intersection, that vantage point from where you get to adore my red and I revel in your blue?  What if we just stay there, wherever there is, enjoying each other?  Because no one else on earth can create our purple. It’s the joy in love we often forget to behold.
