Euphoria
If euphoria were a color,
it would be orange
as orange as the heat of adrenaline surging strongly and quickly in a small and sensitive space.
If euphoria were a taste,
it would be just like sparkling wine that bubbles in a pleasant way and takes away the sense of a harsh reality and leaves us feeling lighter.
If euphoria were a smell,
it would be as citrusy as something acidic that gives us convenient chills.
If euphoria were tangible,
it would feel like a hot body coming into contact with cold water, causing relief and rapture.
If euphoria were a sound,
it would be as soft as the sound of the laughter we provoke in the people we love.
