Happier Now

Last night, you asked me if I ever 

Missed the simple life I had 

Before we were together 

I answered "Maybe just a tad." 

I mostly miss my family 

Getting to see them every day 

Game nights, spook lights, laughing 

But that was all before "I'm gay." 

When I met you and decided 

To tell them who I really was 

I knew I would be giving up 

A part of me I loved 

But as you're sleeping next to me 

Your hand upon my chest 

I know, for sure, without a doubt 

I am so very blessed 

You love me unconditionally 

For who I really am 

And I can't imagine life 

Without you, my love, my man 

Ever since we started dating 

Six short months ago tomorrow 

My life is just as great as ever 

But something's better, no more sorrow 

You see, before, even though I loved 

The simple life I had 

Living it I knew I'd never find 

A man, true love, so I'm glad 

I love my man with all my heart 

And I've never been more happy 

I just hope that you don't bust my chops 

For posting something, well, super sappy 

Here's to the next six months and more 

To many a happy day 

As long as you are by my side 

There is no other way
