Every morning when i wake up,
a smile crosses my face
because i’m happy once again,
my life has found its base.

every time i see that bright smile,
or hear your voice, the music to my ears,
i know im happy once again,
no longer shall i shed tears

every second of every day
my mind wanders to you
and i feel a warmth inside,
like i never used to do

no longer do i dread waking up
and living the days one at a time
because once again in life
there is a happiness that is mine

that happiness is your presence,
in my mind and in my heart,
knowing that wherever i am
i know that is where you are

whether in physical form
or just inside my chest
it really doesnt matter
because the pain can take a rest
