I walk in and you immediately mouth
“You look beautiful”
But you are the one that’s beautiful
My mustard yellow dress pales in comparison
To how you look in your bright yellow gown despite everything…

(Which reminds me of sunshine. You are my sunshine.
Your smile warms my heart and soothes the pain)

…but today they have you in green
Green, you’ve said, is a fortuitous color
But how unlucky you have been carrying the weight of the world
On what feels like your own
Now let me ease your burdens and carry your worries
Just like how I would carry you
And the plans and promises we had to travel the world together
I’ll be your arms, legs, and lungs
Because I owe you in this lifetime and more
