Happy

Happy, is how I used to feel I was happy, when you were here I was very happy, but old wounds don't heal Now that you have left and gone I don't know how to move on You know I was never one for goodbyes And your eyes, I'll never forget those eyes They were thoughtful, and blue as the sky Your hair Was black as midnight skies And no matter how hard I try I can't feel happy Without you here I wont be happy Until you're near But I just have to let go I just wanted you to know I WILL let go Even though you'll always be in the back of my heart I'll begin to make a fresh start You made me happy, and I'll never forget I have no regrets And you better bet I can be happy, even though you're gone All I need's me, myself, and I Even without you, I will be Happy WRITER'S STATEMENT: This is a poem about how you feel after someone close to that you love drifts away from you. It starts out as a sad feeling, like you'll never move on from that person, until you realize that, in the end, you don't really need them anymore, because they didn't try to stay connected with you and lost you forever. In the end, you realize, all you really need is yourself.

A very honest write, peppered with cliches that actually work and engage, the repetitions add yearning and keep the context firmly in place, ..very easy to feel this write in its soft sadness...Ian
