Inspired by Yellow by Coldplay
Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah they were all yellow
I've been living in the Philippines for 5 years and i have learned alot.My grandfather lost a lot of memories due to the accident years ago.The pain of the past always struck him like lighting.Everytime he sees something relatable to the tragedy he started screaming someone's name.Grandmother always tries to calm him down but he keep saying painful words to him like "Stop comforting me..You are not HER!".My grandmother kept those painful words.
So today I'm here to babysit my grandfather if that's what you called it.I am heading to his house now.
When i enter his house..It was filled with Dandelion. My grandfather has it owned house because he doesn't want to live with his Wife anymore.
I knock on his Door and there he is..Mr.Lucas Denver.
"Oh my child your here..What brings your visit".He smiled as if he was freed from a cage.
"Hello gramps..Mom said i have to take care of you since you are getting weak.".
*smile "Come..Get yourself comfortable".He says it with ease
When i enter the house it was very comfy and it felt like home.But something caught my eye.It was a picture of a....Girl?. Smiling so sweet. Her eyes held a lot of memories.A bright yellow.
"It seems you notice the picture Alden".
"Yes..Gramps Who is she??".I ask out of curiosity
He came forward and touch the picture with tender and care.
"Her name is Leion Bright..She was my bestfriend,Protector,My happy pill and..My First love. His eyes were soft like feather when he mention her name.
"Leion Bright...What happened to her?".I ask..Even though he once sait that Grandma was his first love but the last grandma was being mentioned Grandpa went crazy..So i didn't further ask.
*sigh..
"I may be forgetful but i will never forget her name,her voice,.."..
"Would you mind telling me your story gramps?"..
*silent..
"Sit down child..I guess talking about the past wouldn't hurt would it".He smile once again.
"I guess.."
(Grandpa POV)
It started when we were highschool at the US. I wasn't very sociable because I was half asian half American so i didn't make any friends.I was just a boy who likes taking photo and writing poetries. It has been 3 months and i still didn't make any friends.I still talk to people but only in projects or simply school related activites.It was very lonely..I was about to quit school and return Australia and study in Japan.But one day I met her.
My beautiful Dandelion
I call her dandelion because i feel like she has a bright aura around her..Bright yellow aura..At first my heart was pounding because she was the transfered student from Philippines.
It might cringy as it sounds but it was love at first sight.
It wasn't long until we became friends..Because we almost have similar hobby..We like photography,Music and studying various flowers.But she doesn't like writing poetries yet she likes reading my poetries.
"So..Did you guys click?"
Click?...We never had a relationship..because..Her life wasn't that long..
