During the Happiest Times of My Life

During the happiest times
of my life
you'd tell me how much
you wanted me as your wife

we talked so comfortably
so easy and free
seeing you between classes
was like oxygen for me

the thing that made
my heart pour over
was when you put your arm
around my shoulder

you promised me every day
that you'd never let me go
you held me and kissed me
just so I'd know

you laughed at all
the silly things I did
you wanted me to look
just like our kids

you'd put your hand on my stomach
and say, "How's my baby?"
even though there wasn't one,
you were just hoping someday maybe

this was by far my favorite
thing to hear you say
and I cry when I think about it
every day

I don't understand
how you could take all that back
how you could look into my eyes
and turn your back

I remember listening
to Blink 182
and jumping in circles with you
in your room

I remember that night
I had a fight with you
Then you held me tight
and said, "I didn't mean it, I never do"

I believed you
when you said "no matter what"
now I feel
like I'm going nuts

Now something evil
has come with a scythe
to take away the happiest
times of my life
