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
