Mirth

I have never laughed this much
When I’m this depressed
The kind of laugh where you can’t swallow
Or breathe
Just heaving
Grinning ear to ear
No sound coming out of your mouth
It’s so good to feel happiness
Warming my veins
Adding color to my cheeks and lips
I can’t help but giggle
Looking at you
Trying so hard to make me smile
Always having something to make me
Explode
Into a fit of choking, cackling
Roaring laughter
Makes me never want to go home
I could stay here forever
Because you’re saving me
From myself
And I adore you
