there you were,
standing in your
yellow aura
and i blinked.
and all that was
left was this gold dust,
shimmering
and the ethereal
shadow of what
we could have been.
i loved you.
i still love you.
i always will.
the sunshine of your
smile will be imprinted
in the palette of my mind
as the softest and brightest
of daffodils.
your eyes will be
painted with
aureate flecks
and chocolate
and your hair a collective
shade of the deepest
parts of my soul, dark
and distinct against
the daylight
that collapses
to
its
knees
when it reaches your cheeks.
I outline you in my heart
with the clearest acryllic
so as not to ever forget
your form and the
way that it nestled to mine.
You, my darling
are the color that I used
to despise the most,
because that color represents
a part of me I could
never understand and love
before I met you
my forever sunflower.
