i am trying to write a happy poem
because you don't make me cry
or make me want to slam my head into a wall.
but because you deserve a happy poem.
one that executes how you make me feel.
i am writing you a happy poem. trying to, actually.
because i love you.
i am writing you a happy poem because
your embrace became my sweet weakness,
and your heart my favorite beat to hear.
i am writing you a happy poem because you don't make me want to write sad poems.
the sad poems that come out when my heart is breaking and my fingers shaking.
you make me want to write a happy poem.
and unknowingly,
that is the most meaningful gift you can give.
