Contacts

i remember your fake contacts
that turned your hazel brown eyes
into a soft and inviting green
you were so proud of them
"Don't I look pretty?" you would ask
blinking and winking at me
you must have felt pretty
with those contacts on
because you kissed me
and for awhile
the color in the grass
in the money
and the soft lime-like glow
from my cell phone
reminded me of you
but eventually the glow
lost its draw
and you faded like summer
but still sometimes
i miss that look in your eyes
that told me you wanted me
and needed to love me
even if it was fake
and faded back to brown
