We Are Happier Together

Though no one else remembers the past that scared our hearts

I know,

And you will never forget.

And that will be enough, I guess.

At least together we can have truth

Which no one else seems to share.

I know how you lived,

Alone, Broken, Lost

And I know you hate self pity.

You know me,

Wounded,

How I was never enough (or so I was told)

What does it matter if it was never true

When her ruler measures me still

We are both so damaged

You and I

Yet through the fragments

We found laughter in each other

Even if Laughter makes the sadness worse when

it inevitably comes

Just like it's so much darker when a light goes out

Than if it had never shone.

You toss your head and laugh

For that second I am with you,

Everything is perfect

We are happier together

We radiate light

Keeping sorrow and darkness at bay as long as we can

Hold tight; Against the shadows to this moment

And your breath
