The plane was boarding


The sky was clear


The sun shone outside


I wore a little yellow dress


A sweet yellow


A warm yellow


The kind of yellow you'd associate with spring buttercups


You were smiling


and I was too


I was seven


You were thirty


Mama said goodbye


And we boarded the plane


We took off


The sky was clear


There was a loud noise


The sun shone


There was fire outside my window


Birds were singing


We began to fall


I was wearing a little yellow dress


You curled yourself around me


A sweet yellow


Trying to protect me


A warm yellow


The ocean grew closer


The kind of yellow you'd associate with spring buttercups


You whispered something


Somewhere, a child laughed


Impact


White clouds floated by


It killed you


Birds kept singing


Because you tried to save me


On that clear, sunny day
