You're Happy Now


Why you did it?

I will never know; much less care.

Though you taught me so much while you were here,

I have learned more from your absence.

I think about you every day,

And the fact that you aren't here with me,

Forces me to be stronger.

I would give anything to have you back,

But I know this world wasn't for you,

And there was nothing else to do.

32 years is long for an unhappy man,

But I sleep well at night,

Because I know that you are happu now.  .
