the skies went purple today,
and somehow it made me think of you.
how you once said you liked the color purple on skies,
how you once said you get engulfed while watching the sun set.

you were right about how soothing it is to watch the sky turn into a different hue.
on how skies don’t remain constant in color,
on how skies get so beautiful even  when it’s storming.

i thought about you,
thought about how your smile could be compared to the sun rising up to the sky,
on how your smile could instantly brighten my day up,
but unlike the sun, your smile won’t fade when it sets.
