I don't like happy endings,
Because in real life
Not many people have them.

But I also always want
A happy ending,
Because then I get to live
Someone else's life
And their happy ending.
I get to be happy
Even if only for a while.

I don't like happy endings
As that is all we can think of.
There is more to life than
Just riding off into the sunset.

I like happy endings.
As I am reminded
That there is a world
Of characters who are happy,
Even though we are not.

But I don't like happy endings.
Because they give people hope.
But it can't just be a happy ending.
Something has to come after.

More comes after the 'ending'.
Good, bad and ugly.
And then sometime after that.
Life really does end.

You don't have to like the ending.
You could love it.
You could hate it.
But at least then,
You'd know what it's like.
You would actually get to live it.
