Happy Place Poem by May N

laying down on the cool grass
I watch the clouds go by
thinking of the past and of you

I remember the nights
when we’d talk for hours
laughing and sharing without a care

I remember the feeling
when you’d run your fingers through my hair
whispering “I love you” ‘s in my ear

I remember the jokes
you’d share to keep me amused
always teasing me, showing me your love

I remember your body
strong and smooth underneath my touch
always ready to give me that warm embrace

I remember your face
sweet and radiant, gorgeous as always
giving me your brilliant smile and winks

I remember your love
never hidden from me, always there
enveloping me in your warmth

But that’s only the past
only memories in my mind
for you are no longer here with me

my head is filled with memories of you
but my heart is empty, hollow without your love
always throbbing with pain of the reminders of you

but I find a way to my happy placer
where you are there, always waiting
never threatening to go away from me

I yearn for my happy place to become reality
but it’s impossible as you have slipped through my fingers
never to come back from my life forever
