She is yellow like the sun, because of the warmth she brings,

Like a sunset on the sea right before it reaches its peak.

When you search where the ocean meets the land,

She is the majestic mermaid on the sandy beach.

Burning brighter than the lights up on Christmas Eve,

She illuminates the sky, the shine in the dark when you can’t see.

Filling you up with warmth and comfort,

Like the moment when your skin and a sweatshirt meet.

As calming as a midnight swim in water

And as serene as the light coming from the moon,

Her presence is what keeps you hooked over and over,

Luring you in like a siren singing her melody.

Admiration couldn’t describe the trance-like state you’re in.

Neither could addiction be used to explain the painful withdrawal you’ll feel,

But there is something so bittersweet about this feeling. 

Something you’re scared to lose, but fear to never get enough of.
