Free Cee Happily Never After
HAPPILY NEVER AFTER
I’m referring to an echo I used to harbor within my heart
Back when I believed you were the “happily” to my “ever after”
Because you were a beautiful beginning to my every affable start
However I do recall a certain sound that used to ricochet off the rafter
I can’t recall at all these days the sound that made me smile
Could it have been the coo of two doves in love as was I way back then?
No, because I only had one dove who never cooed and his name was Mr. Vile
Still I remember treasuring that long faded sound all the way back when
Alas it wasn’t the sound of a newborn baby begging for his bottle
It wasn’t that sound a puppy makes along with his final yawn of the night
Nor was it the roar of a hot rod screaming at full tilt and throttle
But I am nearly a hundred percent sure it was surely a sound of delight
Could it be the secret sound a snowflake makes when it lights upon a lover’s lashes?
Or the sound of my wails when you were no longer the “happily” to my “ever after”
Perhaps it was the sound when I’d snap your picture midst fantasy and flashes
Oh no, now I remember, it was the soothing sound of your lilting laughter
