Epiphany

As I sat by the window
A quarter past 2.
I thought about life,
And thought about you.
I pondered the wonders
Of the future ahead,
And of the many questions
About a time that's dead.

You came crawling
Into my mind,
And I became scared
Of what you might find.
And then it hit me,
Clear as day.
I couldn't care less
What you might say. 

Suddenly, 
An emotion struck me.
One I'd never experienced:
The feeling of utter glee.
I had officially attained,
What I would describe as,
A rather enjoyable state of being,
Quite full of pizzazz. 

It was then
I concluded fully,
That happiness is not always achieved 
By something deemed woolly,
Or even by currency-
Meaningless until rid of woe-
But from something as simple
As letting things go.
