HAPPILY NEVER AFTER


We are not made for happiness

You and I, feel we feel too much

Most people wouldn’t understand

But we’re too passionate to live in moments forever

We experience as everything it is, was and could be

We act shallow, we don’t like to explain it

That’s why we have nights like these

where we don’t have to pretend, we’re like everybody else

Where we can acknowledge happiness without accepting it

Where we can let the darkest parts of ourselves come out to play

We can touch without holding, our souls can kiss and not linger

There’s 80s music playing in the background

Not the 90s, because that’s the type of music you dance to

And we don’t want to do that

We want to reminisce, drown in nostalgia

The kind of scene that reminds you of rain drops on a window

Or driving in the city late at night

We get a place far off from the ground

Large windows so we can gaze at the world below

We convince ourselves that the world is just that small

From this distance,

We could fly if we had the courage to jump

We choose to be sad and angry

But we still drink wine as a distraction

Not beer, it’s too crude and this moment is pure, smooth

Not whiskey or tequila, it’s too strong and this is a light moment

We’re pretending it’s a classy dinner

There’s light music and our demons are slow dancing

This can’t be happily ever after, we’ll always need breaks in between

Because we fantasize love, too cynical to romanticize life
