Breathe Easy Alexandria

These sunny, summer days remind me of you.

They remind me of the wonderful days you spent

                 in my arms and in my heart.

Oh, I would give anything to make this explosive

                 nostalgia reality once again.

I need only one more day with you;

But, hell? who am I kidding?

One day is not enough.

A lifetime isn't enough with someone who amounts

                to such an incredulous beauty as

                yourself.

I can't help but miss you dearly.

I can't help but to cry.

I can't help but ponder on your permanent departure

                 from the physical realm that we know

                 as LIFE.

I should be proud of you -- well, I am -- but my arrogance

                tells me to mourn; so what do I do?

I mourn,

and I mourn,

and I mourn some more.

I am struck by the mourningful remembrance of your eccentric

                 existence and of my experience with it.

But I know that one day all of these memories will bring upon

                the polar opposite of the feelings they

                trigger today.

That is Happiness.

I will be happy.

As a matter of fact,

I am happy.

I am happy that your everlasting fight was began, was

                 endured, and was ended with a smile.

I am happy for the cease of your suffering.

I am happy that you are no longer a victim for the trauma

                 that comes with living.

I am happy for the infinite hearts and souls that you touched

                with your aspiring inspiration.

I am happy to have, at a point in time, been one of the few and

                 only who you encased in your affectionate

                 passion, and ,with a bit of luck, changed my

                 life forever.

But to speak the least,

 

I am happy for YOU
