The Last Time (I Was Happy with You)

'Twas the last time I was happy with you,

And so wonderfully oblivious, 

I caught us in a photograph smiling,

We enjoyed the first, warm sunrays of spring,

And I still loved you, still cradled my ring.

'Twas the last time hearts still resembled one,

The last time I clung to you, my anchor,

The only thing keeping me from floating,

You always pulled me onto solid ground,

Then you pulled too hard, and I almost drowned.

'Twas the last time I was happy with you,

And I kept myself easy to digest,

When I digressed, I blamed my depression,

I blamed my anxiety, my illness,

I tried to heal, stay in line - to be ... less.

'Twas the last time I was happy with you,

Yes, I realized that in the dead of night,

A picture that once radiated joy,
Was reduced to a somber memory,
Of what our love was - and was meant to be.
