Future Happiness

As the sweet smells of fall

Fade to the sharp, crisp

Smells of winter,

A song fills my heart rejoicing

The days of future happiness.

 

The days of future happiness

Though not yet lived, are figments

Of our imagination to come.

Only the happiest thoughts

Of being with you remain.

 

You are with me, and

I am with you.

Together, for eternity.

Happy.  Loved.

Oh I can see

The days of future happiness.

 

The days of future happiness

I see written on your face.

Though my face is no

Visible to you now,

Rest assured at night knowing

That I am as happy

 

As the song in my heart

Draws to a close, I know

The days of future happiness

Will never end.

Ever.

I love you.

Forever.
