Happy In The Daylight

Happy In The Daylight

A Poem by Vertigo Cat1111
"

There's happiness that's absolutely unbelievable. You see it around often, but once you achieve it for yourself, it truly does feel like you're in a dream, and you almost don't believe it.

"
I feel as happy
As I once pretended to be
It's a clean kind of happiness
It's an unbelievable kind of happiness
It's a dreamy, morning kind of happiness
And I cannot believe it.

Nobody told me it would feel this good
I mean, I've heard stories, seen movies and read books, 
So I guessed I hoped it would
But,
This is different
No one said it would feel like
Slow, sweet, burning incense
Light shining through my curtains
Sunshine in the nighttime
This is real, that's for certain
We just make sense
I promise we'll never be past tense
You came around when everything was down
You were right there besides me
I saw your face
In this familiar place
Everything in this changing world 
Became a little less frightening
You came around
When I was nervous about the sun going down
The first party was green and hazy
I knew my place 
Was in your heart
But I think I've already been there before
I know you so well
I don't think it's some magical spell
I think it's our past life, darling
The rain was nowhere to be found
I couldn't hear a sound
Now my good karma has finally come around
And ever since then
I realized I've known such a genuine happily ever after ending
But we're just beginning
I never got it when people said
'It feels like a dream'
Yeah, I didn't know what that was supposed to mean
But I've found the healing green
And really, truly
It feels like a dream
Creaking floorboards
Tall buildings
Rain on wide windows
Tired after a day of work
Coming home to our friends
They're such beautiful pieces of artwork
Summer drifting to fall
Holidays are coming
I can't take all of this loving
Not so long ago
I cried and asked 'what did I do to deserve any of this?'
And now
I smile and look at you and ask 'what did I do to deserve any of this?'
I lost so many friends 
I thought this was the end 
I was so certain everything was gonna get worse
Break or just bend?
I couldn't find words to defend
It was gonna go to shambles in ways I couldn't comprehend
You are my moon
My stars
This is the first time it's just felt like 'ours'
Now I can see my future from afar
And so, thank you
Because now I'm not so blue
A different kinda hue
I guess I always knew
This wasn't something new
Something I've known in a past life
In that little, old house
Dancing around the kitchen window light
We may not be entirely heroes
Not quite villians, maybe
But I'm your neon blue dandelion
You're my lemon yellow rose
I can make it through the night
And everything is finally bright
The past pain and bird calls makes sense
In this daylight.

Just a bit of a longer poem about happiness that makes you dizzy. Love that's airy and light and unbelievable, because you just didn't think stuff like that existed. Hope you enjoy it!

I am so jaded by life, it takes quite a stupendous poem about happiness to make a believer out of me, & this poem does that. I went thru the first one-third thinking: yeah, but . . . waiting for the next shoe to drop, wondering if this story would be (unbelievably) ALL sunshine & roses? A couple of places, I almost gagged from the saccharin sweetness of this seemingly delusional happiness. But little by little, your poem chipped away at my skepticism & I ended up seeing this poem as a genuine expression of a fulsome experience loving another person, not just some shallow delusional feel-good blathering. What won me over first is that I had to keep reading due to your brilliant imagination & word-crafting. I was thinking: even if I disagree with all this s**t, I sure do love this writing! But, as I said, you gradually won me over to visualizing a love experience THIS full of glee (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Awww, thank you so much, this was so kind (:
Whoa, nice write. I said I'll give it a chance and lasted all the way to the end. I like how honest and unrehearsed it all read like, yet kept a steady theme. Nice work!

Rain on wide windows - I liked this line the best. I like watching rain and if it's through a window, the wider the better lol.
