In my life of visions I’ve never gained
I never envisioned it’d be this strange
If it was my decision for it to change
And I had to lose you; it’d stay the same

I’ll never leave you alone unless you’re left alone with me
Sitting on our beach, staring at the sea
Multi-colored fingernails and freshly dyed black hair
I feel I can do anything if my happiness is there
I don’t see your smile enough; I love it when I do
Makes my smile start from the inside, slowly seeping through
Someday I’ll kiss those candy lips and taste them for myself
You’re my medicine for loneliness, I ask for no one else
So dance a silly dance for me and hold me close at night
I’m never sad when you’re around; you make everything alright
You’ve become my happiness and I hope to be yours too
I’ll fill you up when you feel empty and your mood is shaded blue
Your sad eyes won’t frown no more
Those browns won’t look to the ground no more
You’re the best I’ve had and I want no better
Girl named yesterday? I think I’ll forget her
You’ve shown me things I never knew
Now I’ve got a mindless self indulgence in you
When I dream my dream again and I finally see her face
Never thought she’d be so beautiful, you standing in her place
Every time you’re feeling lost; I’m here to bring you back
To find you and give you things you’re feeling that you lack

This isn’t infatuation, but there’s something I must ask
Don’t let these feelings fade away; I’m hoping this will last
You know I’d never hurt you, I’ll block out all your pain
I want you to feel me and for you to feel the same
Don’t become numb; my love’s the only drug you’ll need
I’d love if you would love me and you O.D.’d on me
If I can’t have you for my own then I hope someone better can
I don’t want your love to hurt again, I’d try to understand
I know I don’t deserve you, but I think I’m needing you
Don’t give up, don’t go away, my heart is bleeding through
When you’re feeling down and close to being defeated
I’ll come take you away each time you sit and read this

If you can’t love me, then maybe I’ll pretend
That you don’t think of me more than just a friend
Just stop and hug me before these feelings end
May every lost instant seem special again
I only wrote twice in 2005 and this happens to be the second poem, which I wrote in July. I don't like to force myself to write, so sometimes I really don't end up writing much at all. There's a hidden message in the first and last line, it's in bold so you can find it. "My Happiness" was my nickname for her because it always made me happy to talk to her. My 42nd poem happened to have 42 lines in it...

In a sense this was sort of forced because I wasn't too sure about things. I think she may have requested that I write about her and if I don't do it myself, on my own, then I don't feel like it's completely genuine.

If you can't read the first few lines completely then just hit the "T" button next to the aA button up top on the right and you should be able to read it.
