i wore a yellow flowing dress that i adored. the colour yellow was a big favourite of mine. most people see it as a happy colour. but the thing is.

people categorise colours into feelings.

blue is sad.

red is angry.

but why is that? i think you've got to focus strongly on the colour to really feel something.

hence the reason as to why yellow is happy.

i felt happy seeing the colour yellow.

it was there when you wake up. the sun.

and if you were ever lucky, i could be there with you the whole day.

walking down a beautiful garden to see yellow flowers standing tall as they flow gently in the wind. or the yellow city lights that looked beautiful staring at on a high hill or mountain.

or even on top of a building.

the glimmering lights that shone on the water as you walk along the beach on a dark night.

yellow was just that light feeling for me.

"hey babe you ready?!" a deep voice calls out. i gulp down a little as i was a little frightened for this.

it's not like i've never done it before.

it's just i'm not a big fan of it.

just recently i got blessed by an amazing boyfriend. his name is olly.

he told me it would okay and that he will be there with me the whole time.

so i agreed.

"coming!" i yell out, hoping he could hear me as i quickly pull a few strands of hair out of my way.

i smile gently to myself and bounce a little as i whisper to myself.

"i'll be fine."

a cool gust of wind tingles my arms and face as we step outside. the neighbourhood was lit up by that warm yellow colour of lights.

i hug onto ollys arm making him chuckle as his hand finds its way onto my lower back; leading me to the car.

as he opens the door for me, i feel my cheeks heat up a little even with the cool wind that surrounded us. his actions were so small but so sweet.

as i entered the car, i tucked my legs together as i hid my hands under my thighs.

he entered the door beside me with a smile as he looked down.

"cold?"

"extremely." i shiver.

a light sigh leaves his lips as he throws off his jacket, wrapping it around me.
