Rough Estimate

Questioned a box of crayons just to find the color of your eyes

wishing for a paint by number to ensure I had the right color.

So give me some time to mix 3 and 2 or maybe 1 and 1 

because just one color being the exact

 match doesn't make sense to me. 

Or maybe its that I've never seen

 eyes such as yours before,

 I'm sorry for staring.

Your eyes. 

Periwinkle?

Or maybe pale blue yonder.

Almost as if I can see through them

but still to shy to let me look a little longer.  

Moderate use of pink, yellow, purple, orange or black.

I only need them for slight shading or reflection of the sun. 

Tell me about the story of your favorite sweater.

 How it anxiously brings more study to your eyes. 

And I'm still trying to figure out

 how that small sliver of opposite 

color came to be

 but I regard it. 

Oh to find the right color of your eyes when wearing that sweater.
