I am so happy you are happy, but why can't I be too?
Why does my mind ache at the very thought of you?

Why does my love weigh down on my chest like a stone?
Oh why does every little word you say cut me to the bone?

The future is a terrifying thing, so bound up in mystery,
But this moment is what feels real and I am haunted by our history.

Oh please be happy, my love I wouldn't have it any other way.
But please tell me you will touch me again in the light of day.

I look to the screen for proof of what I know,
Alone in our rooms we say what we can't face to face even though,

I know you love me, you know I love you too.
I just want to be happy, in this moment, here with you.
Old habits don't die at all
