Looking For An Orange

I want a bright orange relationship.

Orange people are high-impact. They're smart, dedicated, sweet as the juice, with just enough tangy imperfection to make them the citrus they are. They come with a lot of relationship vitamins that keep things going smoothly. They grab your attention--mostly on the first or second time you talk to them. They wake you up, mentally, and when you wear them, you get looked at lots more often because it's the perfect shade for you (even though, chances are, you never would have tried it on in the store on first glance). They're interesting and interested. They talk and they listen. They wait and they push.

After being in a bright orange relationship, you never want to go back to pastels. Or dabble in earth tones. Or set yourself up with the high-maintenance jewel tones. You just want an orange.

Orange is a little intimidating because it doesn't go with everything, and not everybody likes it. It's eye catching and no-nonsense. There's no mistaking it; no other word for it, no substitutes, no rhymes. Orange is orange: necessary and unique.

There aren't very many oranges. They're few and far between. They don't apologize for who they are and they won't change to yellow or red if you ask them. Not that I ever would...because then I would no longer have an orange...and that's what I want. A bright orange relationship.
