not green, but green.

*quick reminder: i wrote this one as a harry styles quick 'imagine' if you will • enjoy! •

They couldn't have been an emerald green. Definitely not a forest green. I would've remembered them being such a sea foam. There really was no such type of green to describe the color in your eyes. Not just the color, but the image they held inside the orbs.

"Mum never bothered much to stare like you do. Just green." He muttered as he plopped another bite of egg into his mouth. 

"But wouldn't you like to know exactly what color they are? Just to know?" I asked him. He shot me a look. The bags under his eyes told me he was too tired to give a thought out answer.

I asked too many questions that weren't seen as relevant. But as he shot me a look and was a bit strung out, I only noticed those eyes. Big doe eyes. Almost like he was pleading with me to sit there and not disturb him.

I would watch as he spoke and his eyebrows furrowed as he spoke about how long and tiring tour was. His eyes then lighting up as he spoke of how nice it was to finally be home and have a rest from it all.

I pay attention to detail and sit in observation. Not like I bombarded him with my curiosity when he loved me. I would let him speak for awhile before I couldn't resist asking the most ridiculous questions from his eyes to his hair to his hands. He'd always reluctantly answer a few.

"I'm not in the mood to be questioned. Let me eat my eggs in peace this morning." He demanded. I nodded, wanting to ask one more question.

After that what he said was fuzzy and the memory from that point on was blurry at best. I always found that to be the case anymore. I can always confirm it was because I was too focused on trying to figure what color they were. I was too focused on colors that I never took the time to find the story behind them.

Now the way I would stare into another's eyes has changed. 

It's like a switch went off and now those green doe eyes are mysteriously brown. I fell in love with green eyes, not brown eyes. 

My heart aches for green and now I'm swimming around looking for a hint of them in brown.
