 This is a love relationship with a woman. Love is a very complex relationship It consist of very broad spectrum of feelings. I would say almost all of them.You can see here everything: novelty(green), lust(red), hope(blue), jealousy(yellow), naivety(white), warmth(orange), despair(black), wisdom(violet), fear(beige). It seems that those feelings are building a framework, a skeleton. But it is actually flames. That is the nature of feelings. They are very unstable, constantly changing and easily dying. You need to put fuel into the fire all the time, if you want to see the flames.

You(the blue rectangle) are on the paved road(beige rectangles on the left side). The millions used this road before you, and more will use it after you are gone. You are full of dreams, hopes and energy. You are thinking about going off the road, into the uncharted territory. And what the heck, you could break beyond the red border. But you are smart and experienced enough  to not do it on the impulse. The best spontaneity is prepared well beforehand. You are measuring when to do the plunge. You don't want to repeat the fate of those that left only the white splashes after crashing into the fence.
