Every time I see that color,

The yellows and pinks,

They take me back in time,

Straight back to that time,

When I grabbed your hand,

And said,

"Run!"

And now,

On this beach,

In the wrong universe,

Somehow this is what they meant.

"She will die in battle."

I now stand on your grave,

Even though you are alive,

They gave you a stone.

I gave you pink and yellow flowers,

My pink – and – yellow human.

Every time I see these colors,

I notice them even when I'm not fighting.

I may be the Oncoming Storm,

But,

I have emotions, too.

Every time I see those colors,

A tear comes to my eye.

I wish I could see those colors as they once were.

But, you changed my world.

I'm hurt and worried,

I will not see you again,

But, I want to see you again.

My pink – and – yellow human.

You didn't need a stone,

But there you are.

Under Jackie.

They put a stone here,

With everyone's names.

I guess it isn't a gravestone,

But it looks like one.

So, I leave you some flowers,

You will never see.

They will wilt and die,

Like our time,

In no time.
