I wonder how long this happiness is going to last
until it gets ripped away
because if i've learned anything in all my years of living,
its that bliss like this only lasts for so long
until it disappears
leaving you with the same familiar emptiness you felt
before anything good ever happened in the first place
and you sit there wondering if it was worth it
and you convince yourself it wasn't
and you'll never put yourself through anything like that ever again
until something new comes along
and the process starts all over again
