The Night I Drove Off Route 1 & 9

You took my water
Gave one last kiss
And smacked my car door closed
So tell me, where is the happiness in all of this?

Happiness existed in corner benches reading an expired box of cereal
Or when I kissed a girl because she said I was pretty
Times when nothing mattered but the rush of emotions as I digested words or broke taboo

Happiness doesn't exist in bleached sheets after a good night of sex
It has innocence and dwells in careless moments when one is not looking for it
It comes in all forms
Even in moments of incredible solitude

Thus, when everyone leaves at the end of the day
Leaving you with nothing but scars & endless pain
Consider the very moment you realized you're still alive
& happiness dwelled there, within you, even for a split second

And all these thoughts accumulate the night you left me on my own
To drive back to an empty home
And If you wanted happiness all along
Why couldn't you just tell me from the beginning you wanted to be alone?
