Yellow is such a happy colour

Yellow is such a happy colour
You pick up the sunflower and I imagine how the room will take on a glad colour with it
You pay the florist and we walk out of the stall.

In the next stall, you pick up a yellow-knitted shawl. again you say it as you smile
“Yellow is such a happy colour”
I hear the baby chuckle as it is wrapped in it

You raise one of the palettes, pointing at the colour
You choose it for the nursery
Yellow is such a happy colour
I can imagine sitting there with the baby wrapped in love as we bond

You tell me you want the child named ‘Daffodil’ or ‘Sunflower’. You say that the flower are beautiful and you know she will be too
We just did a gender reveal and you chose yellow for female, purple for male
When the colour sailed up to the sky, you danced in it and cried
Yellow is such a happy colour

When I am asked who my yellow is, I do not need to think too much
Your soul flutters and spreads so much love. Your eyes bulge and expand when you are surprised
Even the sun copies the yellow-dazzle from you.
I also imagine that yellow is synonymous with happiness when they ask because like you always say:
Yellow is such a happy colour
