i always believed that i was a grain of sand small insignificant bound to be blown away by the wind or swallowed whole by the shore. but you. you came harder than any wind or ocean ever could and you swept me up, but for the first time, it was bliss you were far more yellow than the mere sand that i am you were a sunflower you were a star now i am still sand but not a grain i am the beach i am the protector between the world and a hurricane i am me and that is enough and you, my love you are yellow
