For once

For once, happiness consumes me
thoughts of doubt never seem to cross my worried mind
a smile rides my lips
in an endless wave of bliss

for once, i'm not consumed by sadness
unable to awaken from my dreamlike slumber
afraid of what's waiting in the next corner
to blind me, hurt me, shatter me

for once, its someone special
whose keeping me happy
taking care of me
not letting me down

for once, a month has produced all the happiness of a lifetime
hopefully, it will only grow stronger
never subside
and most definitely never end

for once, i'm looking at life
without sedation
without hesitation
and without fear or overly high expectations

for once, it doesn't scare me to trust completely
i'm not expecting a sudden downfall
and i'm not contorting myself
to make it easier to slit my own throat

for once, i want to be happy
i want to dance in the rain, even if i have an audience
even if i have no rhythm
life is a beautiful game that i'm destined to win

for once, life presents so many opportunities
and i, being the life alcoholic
drink to the last drop
with no fear of tomorrow, but with anticipation of things to come
