Today was a good day for you
For us
We took a walk in the park together
You were happy
Just like your old self
I haven't seen you smile like that in ages
Seeing you like that made it all worthwhile
Your smile worked better
Than all the painkillers I took
So that it wouldn't hurt every time
I closed my swollen fingers
I didn't want to do anything today
But you surprised me
Said "Let's go out today."
Your hand is grasping mine
I don't think I could let go of you
Even if I wanted to
I feel stiff
But today isn't about me
It's about you
It's always about you
You had a good day today
The coldness suites you
I hate it
I find it hard to move when it's cold
But you've always lived in fire
And I in ice
But I will love the artic wind itself
If it made you happy
It hurts me
Not the physical pain
That I can tolerate
It hurts me that I have to lie to you
Tell you that everything's fine with me
Even when it's not
Especially when it's not
But your good days are few and far between
I don't want to ruin the ones you have
And you need someone strong to lean on during
the bad ones
It kills me that I can't be as strong as you
need me to be
You're doing better
Each day is a little better than the last
You're finally beginning to heal
After all the psychic hurts you suffered
Maybe one day you'll finally be able to tell me
what happened
I hope I'll be well enough to listen
But it's hard for me to feel too bad
When I'm seeing you so happy
Watching you be happy
Makes me happy
And in the end
Isn't that what matters
Today you're happy
You're having a good day
And only because of this
I'm having a good day
Which makes this a pretty good day
All things considered
Pretty Good Year
