Losing You

Written for a contest

I’ve shed not one tear
nor have I had one lonely day.
My heart is not broken
nor have my days been filled with rain.
I see sunshine and rainbows
and my nights are starry too.
Every night is a summer night
and my day skies are oh so blue.

I levitate in this euphoria.
My feet never touch the ground.
But the world tells me this isn’t normal,
that I am adding on crazy by the pound.
At me, they shake their heads
and tell me what my life should be.
But I’d rather not sing the blues
or cry all day in my ice cream.

My heart is still so full of love.
For the loss of you, I will not weep.
I do not think in terms of loss
or of what could be.
Instead of mourning a lost love,
the way we were is where I live.
The soft music of your heart playing mine
is what holds me forever captive.

The place I live is the only place
where I can still have you;
where there’s no need for tears or
aimless wanderings in a heartbroken bayou.
Why should I drown myself
in lonely rainy days,
when I can live inside my memories
no matter what reality portrays?
