Happy

You asked what makes me happy,
and I’ve been racking my brains since.
A difficult question for me,
the person once your prince.

What made me happy then? 


Cool cider and a blanket. 

Hiding away on a hot summers day,
the field, that year, that May.
Listening to - the song of the lark,
your gentle breathing - a sigh in the dark.
Talking in the car, all those miles we drove.
Remember that afternoon:
the hot one at the Cove?

What makes me happy now? 

A mountain view, 
not being at work.
Jagerbombs with friends,
not being a jerk.
Nowhere to go,
no need to think.
Time spent with you;
green eyes that blink 

So yes I am happy. 
You’re the one that makes me stay.
But I may not give that impression;
So to you my lover, touché
