Yellow

Before I met you, I could only see you

While I actively searched for your face in the crowd,
From across the room,
Or in passing.

But once you entered my life,

I started to see you everywhere,
Even when you weren’t around.

There were echoes of your voice and reminders of your face

The wind felt like your breath
And the sun felt like your touch

Becuase you occupied no place quite like my mind
And you resided in my heart at all hours of the day.

Your honesty became home
And your sincerity a haven

For I was surrounded
By you
With no hope for escape

Yet still I long to hear
That you see me too

So I can finally know
That what is before me is real
And not all in my head
