Your favorite color was yellow.
I hate that color.
I always have.
For some reason it reminds me of happiness.
It reminds me of sunshine and dandelions
And smiley faces that have never
Seen a moment of misery.
Your favorite color was yellow.
This scared me to death because
I would never be able to be as
Happy as that color.
I would always be a muddy mess
Of browns and blacks and grays
Swirled together into a mix of emotions
Not even I could identify.
I wanted to love you,
But your favorite color was yellow,
And how could you ever love me
When I’m not the color of happiness
