Canary Yellow

You carry around your phone cased in an artwork of sunflowers, showing the world a bit about you. To the world, you are most definitely a beaming canary yellow. A light that shines, revealing so much joy and excitement. You balanced out my cynicism in my younger years and I’d like to think I’ve adopted some of your better traits.

To me, yes you are a canary yellow, but I have also seen you at your reds and blues and greens, because we grew up together. I have known you for most of my life – we’ve been together through thick and thin, through the fights over boys and other dumb things little girls fought over. It’s so strange to see how much we’ve changed and grown.

I’m glad to call you my best friend.
