Happy

The images I'm left with,

As each day fades from view,

The triumphs and the heartbreaks,

The laughter and the poo,

All seem much less important,

Each day I live with you.

The laughter I'm in love with,

Which seems so overdue,

I guess I always should have,

But I just never knew.

My wishin for ambition,

You need to feed it too.

The dancing still advancing,

Remembered in my tattoo.



The visions of the future,

Are fused with those long past.

Some linger so vividly,

While some are fading fast.

Forgot the ones I cherished,

The beauty that was trashed.



Some blurry, some quite clear still,

When I was low and high.

When I was loud and crazy,

When I was scared and shy.

Some days I couldn't care less,

Some days I wished you'd pry.

The tears when Crystal loved me,

The laughs when she went bi.

The people that I've held tight,

The times they had to cry.

The dreams of my own restaurant,

The dream to be a spy.

The time when Kelly flipped out,

When Sarah cooked the pie.

The night of Cody's car wreck,

When we all watched him die.

And all the times I moved away,

And had to wave goodbye.

And when the only truth involved,

Was that I had to lie.

The time I left it all behind,

And I took to the Ix.

so many great lines...

Each day I live with you.
The laughter I'm in love with,
Which seems so overdue,

The dancing still advancing,
Remembered in my tattoo.

Forgot the ones I cherished,
The beauty that was trashed.

Some days I wished you'd pry.

The people that I've held tight

The night of Cody's car wreck,
When we all watched him die.
(that night is...amazingly...wow)

And when the only truth involved,
Was that I had to lie.
