The fatal happiness erupts
from my every pore as I release you
into the wind like a balloon.
The string
once tied to my wrist -
was an anchor.
Away you go
into thin air
like you had never existed before.
Warmth begins to fill the frozen holes
within my being
and light bubbles to the brim
ready to show the world.
This new excitement,
wrapped around me,
burns with flames
of new found passion
and of thrill.
That feeling,
again ignited,
within my heart --
which tremors a bit in return
with the reminiscence.
I had never thought
happiness was possible,
for me,
again.
Yet --
here he sits
beside me
beaming from ear
to ear.
And ... release.
