You were yellow

You were never purple;
I was.
You see,
You were too light to be purple.
There was way too much sunshine in you-
A brightness that flowed and touched everything in your path.
You were beautiful.
You lit up every room;
Every building.
Anything that you came into contact with was immediately glowing-
Myself included.
I radiated with love and growth around you;
There was no darkness,
Not even a single speck.
Every past mistake that I had ever made dissipated in your presence-
It was like none of it even mattered anymore.
Your smile melted me like butter in a hot pan;
And your laugh was the most healing sound I had ever heard.
You were never purple,
I was.
I was the bold dark purple who was hurting way too much to find my place in life and you-
You were yellow.
You showed me the way and gave me all of the credit.
You were yellow.
