bright sunny cheerful yellow, the kind that glints off polished surfaces and momentary startles. that's what i thought when i first saw you. a light in my darkness, that's what you became.

round and round we turned in a creamy marmalade coloured teacup. your face is the only one i see. your laughter is the only one i hear. i got off the teacup, head a-spinning, not from the ride but from just having you by my side, holding my hands.

always, they've told me that the colour red represents love, passion and all those things two people in love feel. red roses, red hearts, red love. but to me, love is yellow; smile-inducing pastel yellow, heartwarming sunflowers amidst blue skies, a blinding light that brought me to life.

Love is yellow because love is you.
