happy
the first time that I saw you
you tore my world apart
I knew that I would fall for you
and that you would break my heart
we laughed we danced with mermaids
as only lovers can
the pain I felt was no surprise
I understood the master plan
I wrote a tale of scorpions
you drew me butterflies
I told of winds and driving rain
you painted bright blue skies
I saw darkness everywhere
rotting corpses tattered shrouds
you imagined paradise
angels with harps on snow white clouds
I wrote a poem of aching loss
you sang a joyful song
and then I saw that you were right
and I was always wrong
so you brought light into my life
as sunrise brings sweet dawn
I am happy that we fell in love
I’m still happy now you’ve gone
