two weeks.
two weeks since the last time I texted you.
two weeks since the last time you replied
with a simple, yeah, bye.

so many things have changed since then.
not only amongst us,
but also around my world
which no longer revolves around you.

every arbitrary thing reminds me of you.
how you came into my life,
how you brought warm colours,
and lastly, how you left.

you didn't choose to drain colours
from my life
but how can my life be coloured again
when you were my crayon.

you were a shade of yellow.
bright, adorable, and joyful.
i painted my soul in yellow.
i started using yellow heart emoji.

suddenly, from dark shade of blue
my new favourite colour was yellow.
but since you've gone,
yellow has been the most annoying colour.

i find it everywhere.
yellow sun.
yellow leaves.
yellow happiness.

there's only one thing that keeps
me from not allowing yellow back into my life:
you no longer like the shade of dark blue
— me.
