I'm sad
not blue or gray or black sad
not melancholy or dreary sad
not rain or snow or clouds sad
I'm sad
but I don't hate anything
I'm not raging against the machine
or looking in the mirror asking where I fucked up
I'm sad
but I'm in love with this sadness
I don't hate it
I cling to it
I'm sad
but only for them
for the way their lips move when they smile
and the way their eyes squint when they laugh
I'm sad
but in a happy way
cause the 200 miles between me and them hurt
but it feels all the better when we're together
