As close my eyes tonight,
I remember the tight
embrace, the warm smiles,
the twisted blankets below
our knees, the shadow of
the sun tickling our eyes,
the sound of the laughter,
the sun being brighter.

I know the stairs up to your
door. I could always go back
to what we used to before--
the laugh, the smiles, the
happy joy-rides. I could go
back every time... but I don't
want go back anymore.

I remember... even though I
don't want to. I remember, to
the dreams of happy-ever-after,
but I don't want to.

The before isn't so beautiful after.

Because we once tried,
to turn our 'once upon a time
to a 'happy ever after', we said
we would remember, that we'll
always be together, everafter.

But what happened?
We got lost in finding
the poison, instead of
the cure.
