Really Only Ever

I really only ever wanted you happy, didn't know it had so much to do with me. But I love, love, love it. You're allergic to the space I leave. You have life and survive off the exhaled air I breathe. And I love, love, love it. Can't believe someone needs to be happy with little old me. Thank you, thank you. I really only ever wanted you happy and I didn't mind when I thought I wasn't who you need. So I toughened up and grew accustomed to being without your love, but sadness won. So those birds of sadness perched on our heads and formed nests. I learned what hurt is. Til we found out we can't live without (despite oxygen everywhere) each other's air. There's nothing like the day that I woke up to find I'm the reason you can fly. I really only ever wanted you happy. You always smile when you look at me. And inside a match strikes. Throughout me I'm happy. Thank you, thank you.
