Find your happy place

They tell you to find your happy place. Create an illusion of peace and tranquillity, familiarity and desire.

But my only happy place is where you are.

They tell me to stop thinking about you, let go of the past. Its not doing you any good dwelling there, find your happy place.

But my only happy place is where you are.

They tell me that life goes on, I'm young and I'll get by just fine. Stop holding on to the last threads of insanity and forget. Find your happy place.

But my only happy place is where you are.

They tell me the hurt will stop soon, that my memories will fade and I can start again. They promise I'll make a new life, with new friends and new love, they tell me to find my happy place.

But my only happy place is where you are.

They tell me I'm stupid, that I'm driving my friends away. They say I can't stop the tears from falling and I can't stop my heart from letting go. Find your happy place.

But my only happy place is where you are.

They tell me I'm angry, resentful that you left me. They tell me I'm angry with you and I'm hurting everyone around me. They say I'm like a zombie, I need to find a happy place.

But my only happy place is where you are.

They can't tell me what to think when I'm alone so I think about you. Think of all the plans we made, the things we done, the places we saw, the wines we tasted. I cry. Find your happy place.

But my only happy place is where you are.

I'm alone. All my thoughts, their thoughts, can't recreate you. A thousand memories can't replace you. A thousand years can't erase you. Here I can have no happy place,

Because my only happy place is where you are.

They tell me i'm causing pain and suffering. I don't want to cause grief but I can't help it. There is no happy place to retreat to. No comfortable shell to crawl back to.

My only happy place is where you are.

They tell me the pain will end. There is only one way the pain will end. A silver bullet, a rusty knife, a drab of poison. I close my eyes for the last time letting go of the world and getting ready to join you. A smile, the first for months plays on my lips.

Because my only happy place is where you are.
