Discovering Happiness
Afraid to wake up alone
With you as just a dream
A figment of imagination
That I made to fool myself
Is it that possible
To wake up every day
And wonder if this is real
Or is it too right so its fake?
A sweet dream every night
Or one long fantasy
This is too good to be true
But it doesn’t have to be true to be right
What we have just fits
And there’s nothing wrong with it
Only the space that’s in-between
It’s not wrong being sixteen
Every word brings butterflies
I’m one of those lucky guys
That is blessed to have met you
Even if you don’t think it’s true
My heart skips a beat when you call me baby
My heart racing when visiting becomes a “maybe”
Another night spent on the phone
Thinking you’ll never let me be alone
A message from you every morn
It’s a good day ready to be born
You love the long messages from me
When I tell you a fifteen page story
You make me smile a big grin
And have me tingling within
I can imagine words in your voice
And it makes me smile and rejoice
You don’t believe my compliments
Make me explain my feelings every time
But I would run out of words to use
There’s always more to say about you
Dream of seeing you inside a school
Or walking hand in hand through a park
Get that perfect kiss in the rain
Holding your hands on either side
Yes I stay up during your slumber
But only to write about you
Try to say all I can say
To try and sweep you off your feet
Not much more to do
Than sit here and day-dream of you
When over here it’s four A.M.
Compare your eyes to a sparkling gem
Having trouble with the distance
And believing in your existence
When it all seems like a dream
Are you the wish upon that star’s gleam?
Every word is more sincere
Even every “I wish you were here”
Long to hold you in my arms
To keep you safe from life’s harms
Save you from the things you fear
I don’t want to wait a year
To see you face to face
But I’m willing to wait if that’s the case
Wish I could just say it all
But I hold back in every call
Afraid of losing my second chance
And never try for this romance
I know we don’t exactly feel the same
But I can wait if time will change that
Even though I may be weird
You’ve found some sort of happiness in me
It is just that that surprises me most
Even though I guess I’m the same
Falling for your imperfections
Since nobody can be perfect
Calling me “lovely” as a nickname
My favorite one I’ve ever had
It’s so unique and belongs to you
Just like your new seat that none can take
Longing for that first embrace
And you will feel my heart race
And I will hold on to you tight
And cling to you with all my might
I can be your little drummer boy
You bring me so much joy
I can be your little band geek
And the holder of the happiness you seek
Just please be there when I wake
Be there for my sake
I pray you really exist
An unbound hope I can’t resist
I know you speak the truth
You bring happiness to this youth
And I know that you are there
I just can’t believe it and stare
Someone like you liking me
It makes me happier than I’d dream to see
I’m glad you didn’t judge this book by its cover
Maybe there’s love here to discover
With you as just a dream
A figment of imagination
That I made to fool myself
Is it that possible
To wake up every day
And wonder if this is real
Or is it too right so its fake?
