Something About the Color Yellow by Aileen Arias The first time I saw you You were wearing a yellow shirt It was soft I know because I pressed my face Against your chest Your smile absorbed the warmth of the sun And ever since then, Pineapples are sweeter Bumblebees no longer bother me Vanilla is my favorite scent Sunflowers became the most beautiful flower Yellow became my favorite color But the whole time You preferred apples over pineapples ladybugs over bumblebees cherry blossom over vanilla roses over sunflowers Yellow was never your favorite color
