My eyes shut in an instant the second I crawled inside my bed,
A broken smile plastered on my face,
My body curled underneath my blanket that shielded me from the cold.
As the music in the background played on,
I began to drift off into the one place where I never dread doing,
And for the first time,
I was going to wish I was still there.
My arms were wrapped around my lover as we sat by the seaside,
Waves crashing on the shore leaving froth at the tips of our toes,
"I'm cold" was whispered in my ears,
And an impulse came over me as I reached out to warm my lover's hands.
I sat there, enamored by the moon's glimmer and the feeling of warmth,
We cuddled
And the beach was no longer there,
I was drifting into thoughts of our love,
How happy it made me feel,
Happy.
I finally understand what happy really means,
For the first time in my life I understand.
But all good things come to an end as this world has taught me,
And the morning light broke into my eyes.
Everything I ever dreamed of was gone,
The feeling of happiness is now a memory,
Never to be felt again,
Until I live this moment for myself.
When will I be happy?
