They say I shouldn’t romanticize.
“There’s nothing to see,” they scold. “Don’t pretend things are more special than they are.”
What if I make them special?
What if I want to smile when I see
My brothers building forts together in the basement?
My mom and dad having everyday conversations over fast food?
Three discussions at once as we overanalyze our latest favorite TV show?
Because really, people can act as if those rainbow moments don’t exist,
But they’re the ones who don’t see the colors.
