This new happiness is strange.
It's tentative but it is firm beneath my feet.
I'm not waiting for the ball to drop.
I'm not waiting for the eventual crash.
Because of you.
You've brought me to this place.
I'm scared but I'm ready for it.
Because of you.
I've had a few bad days since you came into my life, but they were never because of you.
You gave those bad days good moments.
It's strange that I can feel everything fully.
The joy fully washes through me.
So does the sadness, but all feelings need to go through to pass.
You make love songs sound reasonable.
You make me think reasonably.
I no longer feel as though I'm drowning.
Because of you.
I was so close to the surface on my own and I couldn't quite get up, but you pulled me above.
I got fresh air.
Wonderful, blissful, sweet, fresh air.
I could take deep breaths.
Recover, one breath at a time.
Because of you.
