I run to your arms.

And I realize the entire time I was wrong

I sat there and looked as you as a black

Sad thing that stared indefinitely with eyes black

Into the sun

But as I got to know you you weren’t that bad

You were as lost as me

Maybe more so.

I cried in your eyes and didn’t listen

To the dark clouds in the forest wasting away

Getting closer when they wanted to show

But now I’m here

And you are there

And I am just wondering where things go from here

Because being strong isn’t as important

As it was five minutes ago

The talk of the town

That’s not us

But I think we’ll survive

Because we are who we are

You are me

And I am you.

The happiness is there

Without going away.

Smiling without fading, for now, and forever

Without a care in the world

With smiles in the air

And tears in the ether

But that’s ok

Because the people in the smokey bars

And the hallways can look

And long and wonder

But they won’t understand

And they won’t believe me

Can forever be forever?

I sure hope so. Because I believe

And I think you believe too.

I tried, but now I know.

Sometimes things are meant to stay

And Christmas sometimes comes all year long

Without wonder or anticipation

And we can just celebrate it and explore it everyday.
