Untitled

lucky isn't something

i consider myself to be.

and though you've asked me why

i still make myself cry

i don't think you realize

how unlucky i really am.

yeah, i've had it good.

i live in a great town

with a loving family

and opportunities i am so thankful i have been given.

so why am i so unhappy?

i'll tell you why.

it's because i'm stuck here.

this small town has trapped me in its suburban clutches.

i can't escape

for another two years.

and i know

those two years

will be the longest years of my entire existence.

but then you came along

and you changed my life.

you make me happy.

i look forward to talking to you every day,

even though it'll only be for a little while

before you go to work.

you make me so happy to be alive.

you make me laugh when i'm sad.

you are the best thing that's ever happened to me.

i love you.
